Today
Looking through pictures of you
Epiphany struck me with the heavy force of a lovers fist

Leaving me was the greatest gift you ever gave me
In fact,
It was the only gift you ever gave me.

Lonely longing blinded me
to what only I could ever see…

You were never worthy to any part of me.

You took       so            so much
I continuously gave
My heart               empty              aches
Weighted by my misconceptions

Today
Looking through pictures of you
Seeing how I was replaced

Fictitious loveless exchange
Fraudulent friendship
Summers game.
