Today

I read a poem

I’d written it

Months back

When I still thought about you everyday

When you were my everything

And I thought

I was yours

It talked about

How I knew you’d forget me

Even when you didn’t

I feel I am a prophet

Except for one minor detail

You would not forget me

You already were forgetting me

I’m tempted to blow with rage

To explode

Smash myself to dust

For not listening to instinct

I’ve already learned my lesson though

That the title of the poem was correct

I don’t even fucking know

At least not when it comes to sensing betrayal in others

So I’ll take this minor victory

Of prophetic dumbshitness

And hold it close to the bleeding hole

And anger management issues you magnified

Maybe it can staunch the flow

But since it’s from you

It’ll probably just sear me further

Who gives a fuck anyways

I’m too scarred to care now
