And even in my drunken haze
I wondered
What you'd think of me now
With men draped all over me
Kissing me and touching me in your favorite spots

I wonder if these men can taste you
Because your kiss still lingers on my skin
I wonder if they can tell the difference
Between you
And the brokenness that you left behind
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?
