Fireworks

as fireworks exploded over your house it was 3am

I noticed, you're not home

and the silhouettes in windows at your old boyfriend's house

are smoke-and-mirror signals that

you're around

better luck next time kid,

now you've loved and lost we'll call it quits

and best of luck,

getting over it.

I've taken the biggest hit,

and all that you could think to say was this

I'll collect my things

when it's convenient

don't write

don't call

i won't miss you at all

late nights are kicking in,

the caffeine and these love songs aren't working,

just hit repeat and sing along again

I can't believe it came to this

the sound of breaking glass and mix-tape hits

drown out the words

as I sing

and I know this will fade over time

but tonight it's just heartbeats and lines

from our song and the thousands of lies

that you told

don't write

don't call

i won't miss you at all
