Sweetheart, Darling Baby

You’re the antagonist in this one

You won’t like me, you can’t love me

I feel a shallow pit in my heart

Filled in with anguish

Why did I let you go?

Because I didn’t believe in those pretty little adjectives you wrote to me

From my welcome mat

To the decorated walls

Of us

To her.

Why did you let me go?

Hand me a band aid, will you

I think I’ve just been shot in the back
