Do you miss me now?
I crack my brighest (and whitest) smile
while you crack open your (5th) beer,
he puts his arm around us both
as we strike the perfect pose.
Life of the party, that's how we're known
Can't leave the house without live tweeting from our phones
You purse your lips together
and bat your eyes real big
almost as if he can hear you say
"I'm doing better without you"
I don't need your attention anymore
Can't you tell from the all the likes I've gotten?
One boy replaced by 100 followers,
Imagine how 1,000 makes me feel
Real people
replaced
by strangers who pop up on my phone.
Please don't take away
the filters on my phone,
and please don't let my followers know
about the emptiness concealed
by the smile I forge
