6. Exam Week

You went away on my socials
It was exam week and I just knew
That you'd leave me too
Across the zone, Instagram notes
Guilt you felt for what you put me through

Talking plans, but we're not quite friends
Never called me your lover
Said you wanted to see how this one ends
Until you've left my shoulder
Just to find a girl and call her better

In just two weeks, such a hurried time
You took her sweet love but you hated mine
Saw all of my poems, only you felt guilt
We survived this city's quakes till we tilt
I'm sure your girl loves your starry eyes

She probably loves hearing your sweet white lies
Reused the same old joke, that I've told you twice
Cried about a sweater, you were always Heather
Never got to give you my midnight Sweater
Since your mind changed faster than stormy weathers

You were all I've ever known
And I'm supposed to watch you from a distance
Love another girl who beats the same heart as mine
Oh, I felt like my heart just got thrown
By a guy who left me, during exam week

I've never been so productive
They said teenage love doesn't always last but
You, made it look so addictive
Just gigantic, all of this year spent just to be cut
As if loving you required passing your test

You put me through a lot of mess
You came back just to never be better
And it seemed like I was less of a person
After you told me I should've learned my lesson
When in return, everything's just poison
