you will be
heartbroken
soon but you are
smiling now
i think you knew
all along
but some deranged brand
of hope convinced you
to try anyway
your inevitable fate
is even now standing
in your shadow
you don’t often choose
to make use of your normal eyes
let alone those in
the back of your head
so don’t cry when it comes
it’s not worth it
there are better
causes for tears
and tearless heartbreaks
i would mourn for you
but they say scar tissue
is stronger
maybe someday you’ll learn
not to make yourself
heartbroken
