_{i'm starting to realize that
how well i treated you was never
a variable when you were considering
being with me.

because i treated you like a princess
and he treats you like dirt
yet who are you with?

every day is a reminder of how much
effort i put into trying to make you
understand how much i truly cared
     - a reminder of how you
        completely devastated
         me and left me stranded
          without any means of survival

and i never asked you for much
a hug
a kiss
a shoulder
a warm body
well even that seemed too
much for you to manage
so i gave you a
smaller task
or what i thought was
smaller
to just
love
me.

forget the rest, it's all bullshit
and you couldn't even do that

so maybe if i start sleeping
with other girls,
calling you out of your name
when we fight,
telling you that love is too
complicated and that i'm
not ready to say it
to you despite you having
said it to me
maybe if i kick dirt
in your face
when you fall down
like he does

then will you love me?}
