He always smelled like coffee

I now hate the scent of coffee

He could always make me laugh

… With quotes from comedians

His hair was long

Great to run my fingers through

And now I hate long hair

Much prefer short hair

Soft and fluffy

Sweet and innocent

He never told me he loved me

I’m glad he didn’t

Because I had fooled myself

Into thinking I was in love with him

He shattered me

By using me

Insulting me to make him feel better

I finally caught on

I’m not that stupid

I let him go

Kicked him away

Hated myself

For letting myself hate him

For letting him use me

For not realizing sooner what he’d been doing

I hated myself for that and more

I was a slut and a whore,

As far as I was concerned

But I’m not

No matter what I did with him

I should not hate myself over it

I’m not always used

I’m not always stupid

Just have lapses in judgment sometimes

I’m just human, is all

And right now,

That’s all I want to be

A human

In the arms of my loved ones

The best place to be

In this humble human’s opinion
