Oh you imbecile
Were you so blind to the treasure you had
That you refused to see all the men lining up
Ready to take your spot?

When people read our story
They all will see
That I was the girl who loved too poetically
And you were the fool for leaving

When I thought of happiness
You were always the definition
But now when people ask me
I smile and say,
"It's loving my own existence"

You said forever
And your eyes made me think you meant it
So I gave you what no one's got before
I believed that if did
There was no way that you could leave

But now I stand on my porch
And watch as you never looked back

Mama said don't play with fire
But you were so enticing
I had to know what it was like
To let your flames consume me

I know you're trying to erase me
But unfortunately for you
I wrote it all down in permanent ink

As I watched you leave
I prepared myself for the colossal crash
And the sound of shattering glass against pavement
That always followed heartbreak

But there was no sound
No crash
Just the feeling of freedom
Whispering revelation into my ear
