Modern heartbreak is “read at 9:12 p.m.” when it is already 10:32 p.m.
It is unliked photos on Instagram. It is blocking and unblocking and blocking and unblocking.
Modern heartbreak is sick of being watched. It is breakups playing out on Twitter feeds. It is a broken jaw, it is screenshot photos that shouldn't have been saved. It is screenshot texts meant for one person only.
Modern heartbreak is seeing your ex-lover with their new one, watching their lives playing out like yours didn’t. It is phones thrown into bedroom walls when their profile changes from single to ‘in a relationship’. It is also snapchat stories to make that one person jealous because it feels like without them, you are nothing.
Modern heartbreak is knowing your friends are off better without you. Seeing your group of friends expending, bigger without you. It is the reluctancy between unfollow them and be happy, or still follow them and be miserable.
Modern heartbreak is that one story that expiring before they see it because they don't give a damn about you, and now you know. It is deleting their contact details, but wanting them tattooed on the back of your hand in case you ever want to call.
It is messy,
It is messy,
It is messy because everyone sees it, and it never goes away.
