It took me less than six months to get
over the boy who took my virginity from me.
But it’s now taken the length of childbirth for me
to stop crying when I hear your name

It took me only two months to find someone else
when he told me he never loved me.
But even still  I compare every person to you and
they don’t add up to the brilliance that you have.

The last time he messaged me I laughed because
I was with you and he didn’t even stand a chance.
The last time you messaged me you were with her,
but you still said you missed me, and
my heart skipped a beat.

At fourteen I fell in love with a monster
who said I was like the stars, dead and cold.
At sixteen I fell in love with a king who taught me
that I was nothing like the stars because they’ll never shine as bright as me.
