You snooped on my phone
but didn't discover any shame
no naked confessions
you searched in vain
for a double life
exciting intimacies
a corps in a wardrobe, secrets
between the lines
I have breathed in those
old statuses, for you
they are empty, boring rooms
dusty and cobwebbed
Keep them as memories
It doesn't touch me that you were
where you shouldn't be
I'm already somewhere else
