How long will it take you To forget the smell on my hair? How long before you stop coming to my room Out of habit? How quickly will your heart stop aching At the mention of my name? A month? A week? A day? Did you ever need me? Will you miss me at all? While I lie here alone Crying for your touch, Will you move on? How long will it take you To find another? Prettier. Skinnier. Smarter. More talented. Better. Will her smile outshine All your memories of me? Will her hands be softer, Her feet prettier, Will she be bolder and brighter Than I ever was? How long will it take you To replace me?
