I stopped loving you on my birthday. Did you know that? It shocked me out of that confused numbness I'd been living in Momentarily. Like a twig snapping A candle, quickly snuffed. All the other cliches people use to say that what was, Suddenly isn't. Can't be, anymore. But it was sudden And it was shocking And I didn't know what to do. So I tried to pass it off as *** Or stress, or distraction. But I knew what it was. I knew what it wasn't, anymore. You didn't. I wonder when you stopped loving me Because surely you've stopped loving me And I'm glad you've stopped loving me. It's all I hoped for, from that day to the end. I hope it was before the end. For my birthday, I made my cupcakes Drank my liquor And prepared myself to remember how to love you. But I knew I couldn't, anymore.
