Sunset splinters

Eyes shine, the look that says forever. 

Eyes shine, you glow.

It’s not you.

It’s not me.

It’s us together.

Wait, I got that wrong.

“It’s not you, it’s me.”

And still, I held it together. I believed, you would see.

Through all the layers of overthinking.  Beyond all the right smiling faces.

Curate the perfect selection. Social media says I’m okay.

Eyes shine, no glow.

You said

…. something.

Sunset splinters everyday.

I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m okay.

You don’t have to feel guilty, you didn’t break me.

Social media proof I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m okay.
