Flowers for Me

Your trap

You were leaving for two months
You didn't want me to be lonely
You said I could date someone else while you were gone
You said you'd be okay with it
You said it was fine
You were okay with me being with someone else temporarily.

I was with someone else
I was with someone else for a week
I never told them "I love you"
I felt guilty
I knew it was wrong
I was about to pull the plug.

You decided to come back
You decided to confront me
You thought you knew everything
You thought I would tell you
You got mad
You got so very mad
You gave me up so easily
You didn't put up a fight
You were about to let me go.

I had to beg
I had to tell you more
I had to tell you what you didn't know
I had to convince you to try "us" again
I had to keep begging
I had to try to keep us together

You said we were toxic
I said we were healthy
You were ready to give up
I had to keep you going
You wanted to end it
I told you that wasn't a good idea
You packed your things
I unpacked them
I stopped you from going out the door.

I.

What were you doing to help us?

Walking out the door does not count.

Not
For
A
Second
