They would tell on themselves.

Whenever there was a plan to see one of them,
you were sweet to me.
So much affection.
So much love. 

Then came the silence,
you're there with them.
So I get nothing, not even a hint of life from you. 

Then after a couple of hours,
when your needs and wants had finally been satisfied,
and you had drank them till they were done and dry,
I would get a text about how good your day had gone.

And I knew every time.
You didn't.

So when I ripped you off my skin,
and finally bared all my wounds open to you,
bleeding and ugly.
why couldn't you accept that I wanted to leave you.
