He Told Me That He Loved Me, And I Just Ate My Ice Cream

3am,

you fumbled your feelings,

mumbling some monologue as I absent mindedly ate ice cream,

outside the Ingress Park McDonald’s,

shivering and pretending to be listening.

The lonely sea was a million miles away,

but you were drowning,

damned and facing your fate,

it shined in my indifferent eyes,

and you wished with such fury that things could be different,

that I could be different,

but life is cruel,

and so am I.
