I passed by you and your new lover today,
My heart literally touched my ribcage,
I wonder how I felt so much warmth,
Instead of sharp
pain,
Your usual cologne lingering behind,
Like the times you carried me from behind,
I didn’t know when the first drop of tears fell
From my left eye, but I know
it felt like a jar of
pepper had been poured into my eyes .
“Papierette” my friend called me
As she tugged at my right arm,
I gestured at her to stop shouting,
Then I stared;
Until I could barely see the back of your head
From the spot where I stood frozen
I knew i'd never get you back,
I mean , that will just be like ,
Killing myself all over again but this time
With a more dangerous weapon
I just wanted to thank you for the
Pint of affection you showed me
For the last 3 months,
I could never be more grateful.
Also, thank you for going with
The knife you used to stab my heart,
I hope you are satisfied with
The portion you took away that day,
The day you committed the worse crime
In the history of modern day love.
I hope she makes you smile,
The way I did,
And I hope she can tolerate you excesses
Oh! Especially the
fact that you can be slower
Than a snail.
I loved you with every fiber of my being,
I told you my fears about love,
I broke down my paper fences for you,
As if that wasn’t enough for you,
You went into my town and crushed
My whole world.
DAMN YOU.
Today I’m saying hello from
My newly built city,
Where i’ve finally found solace,
After years of roaming up and down
Thank you for giving me the opportunity
Of a fresh start,
Thank you for teaching me what love is not
I left the real world for you and your new lover
Because I can’t stand the sight of you two,
This time my Paper fences are strong enough,
To hold back twenty thousand men like you,
My self-worth glows brighter than the moon at night
My self-love is unbeatable
That was the missing piece ex-lover ‘
Thank you for helping me find it.
THANK YOU SINCERELY.
