I'll never understand what you saw in her

But what does it matter?
Because whatever it was
It made you believe I was worth leaving
You bought me roses
I watched them die

You told me you loved me
I believed every lie
"Did you ever think just maybe-"

"Yes. All the time."
She always said
"I love you"
first.
You say
"You're gorgeous"
As if I should be thankful
That you find me so

But honey
Don't you know?
A woman like me
Will never be charmed with words that simple
What happened inside of you?
What changed?
When did I go from being the person who gave life to your breath
To the tedious chore you felt obligated to acknowledge?
You asked where it all fell apart
And I replied
"We both loved you the most"
