An over the shoulder
As a razor slips
Releases the follicles
Pinning me down in the smallest
Corner of the room
I changed my name
So you couldn't find me
And wonder.

You said you've moved on
Without prompt
And often moments will linger on
Like a dusty quilt
Forgotten in the attic
Of what my best friend and I
Endow as "Little Hurts."

I listen to the same song
For about a total of 4 times
Because it captures
The past, present,
The right now.

A blush purple pink
Opening and parting
And I'll start to shake my head
When I see the letter "C"
Start to hiccup
In the middle of my coffee
And remember
How unhappy I really was.

I tried it on for a while
Like a dress from the store
It fit me alright
I threw on a pair of
Pricey pearls
Shoes 4 sizes too big
My hair evolving
A million different shades
And each version of me
You always claimed to love
The social media me
More.

And thats what broke us in the end
Cannon
That's why we became ashes and bone
That's why you're 38 and alone.
