She

She'll never love you like I did,
I say that and mean it.
She'll never touch you like I did,
She won't know how.
She'll never look at you like I did,
Because she won't know what to look for.
She won't stimulate your feelings,
Because she doesn't know you have any.
She'll never laugh at your jokes like I did,
Because she'll just be offended.
She'll never not trust you,
Because she's a fool.
She'll never kiss you like I did,
Because her lips are tainted with unworthiness.
She'll never understand you,
Because you don't understand yourself.
She'll never say your name like I did,
Because I spoke your name like I owned it.
She will never amount up to me,
Don't you dare compare her.
Don't you dare compare me.
Don't you dare.
Because no matter what,
She will never be a fraction of the woman I was for you.
