9 months, 5 days, 14 hours and 23 minutes.
What did you really expect would happen in that time?
You had that much time to explain to me,
why you did the things that you did,
and why you left me stranded so suddenly,
with no explanation, and me thinking it was my fault.

So why today?

Why choose today,
to look me in the eyes and say
"Hello."

That one simple word,
struck me down like a lightning bolt,
and tossed me aside like I was nothing but ash.

I'm so confused.
But I'm sure that's what you're trying to do.

You'll follow me around today,
and every single word you say,
will be a lie.

You had 9 months, 5 days, 14 hours and 23 minutes,
to say what was on your mind.
To put my mind at rest.

But you didn't.

You sat around and watched me transform,
into this horrible f*cking shell of my former self.
And it's all thanks to you,
and your enjoyment in watching me suffer.

You had 9 months, 5 days, 14 hours and 23 minutes.

And I won't be wasting one more second with trusting you ever again.
