Watch you tell
everybody but me.
Watch it be a
rumor that you’re spreading,
one that will
ruin me.
Watch me
cry as you
beat me down,
again,
watch me
cry myself to sleep as a
repetition
of the night
everything went wrong.

Watch me slash my
wrists,
legs,
as you go around saying I
don’t.
Watch you say I’m
fake,
when the scars are
RIGHT
THERE.
Watch you say I’m
just fine
when I’m most
obviously not.
Watch you say I’m a
b----;
Wait,
I can’t deny that.
Watch you call me a
w----,
even though I’ve
never had a boyfriend and
you’ve had at least three.

Watch you go around pointing out
others’ faults,
while flaunting and
denying your own at the
same time.
Watch you be nice
one moment, then
trash-talk me the other.
Watch you say you’re sorry and
never mean it,
watch you take back
everything you ever said,
just like before.

Watch you be the end of me.
