__I thought you still cared.__ _Still loved,_ You used to look at me _like I was your whole world._ Your person, your ___‘Pretty boy.’___ _Your future husband._ Yet before the sun could set, ___you left.___ _Like a flame that gutters when we drown in wax._ Who was I to you? _Was I just the moth you cupped between your palms just to feel the wings beat before dawn came?_ You compare me to your new person. _Using my ghost to crown your new king,_ _Am I not human too?_ _Twisted was my sense of humanity._ _My individuality,_ _Am I just a past memory waiting to be forgotten?_ ___All I am to you is just a comparison,___ _like the cold nights that live under your summer afternoons._

A comparison
