I felt this pinch inside me at the thought of you having her number
At you knowing her
At you replacing me so quickly
It was like every man I had ever met
You didn't care
You tore me open and I let you
I spread myself open too you
A delicate book, telling you every story and my fears and hopes
You looked at me like no one ever did
You watched me and I felt the love in your gaze
But then within a flicker of a millisecond
I was replaced
She was beautiful
Jet black hair
Dark eyes
She was sweet and her laugh was angelic.
When she touched your shoulder and you held her hand gently, I squeezed my eyes shut, blinked and pretended it didn't bother me
I clutched my shirt in my hand instead, plastering a smile.
Pretending that inside I wasn't dying
Because I thought I found someone
And once more I was wrong
I trusted too soon
Because I was so ready to love someone and then to love me
I was so ready to love you
And you were just searching for something to fill the void inside you until you no longer needed me
