the first tear betrayed me.

and if i die alone
that's fine by me.

i did right by me.

looked out
for me.

you flew past me.

i guess we grew a little too
fastly.

but if it was a problem

you'd look past me.

i'm overreacting

dramatizing

assumption
making

conclusion jumping.

&somehow i thought you'd
understand me.

you're

misunderstanding

judgement passing

overlooking

eye rolling.

you know that's me.

true as i stand.

you still misunderstand.

or you lack the capacity

to accept that i'm a woman

& i'm known to cause a
scene

but as i stood before you

and shared my heart with you

and bared my soul

you let pride intervene

love has no dignity

love knows no pride

love doesn't know the hurt i've
seen

rather, i had not seen

the first tear betrayed me.

i fought it back with every might.

but i cried another night.

& you resented my tears

the first sign that its come to
end

but love won't allow us to just be
friends

i needed away out

you and i are no longer

who we were

but lets be sure

after 15 months

i've cried enough

but it was the first tear

that betrayed me

gave away me

turned against me

the last tear

failed me

failed to console me

& i had the courage

to trust another

to love the whole me

love and hold me

relationships must not be for
me

love didn't love me

how fucked up can love be

never again for me

and if i die alone that's fine by
me

rest in peace love

looks like its only you and me.
