you'll watch me cry
you never say goodbye.
you've left me to die,
to wither alone.
i give you what you want then you're off the phone.
you'll move on from me with no regrets.
i'll lie here,
alone and dead.
you've taken what you want
and
left what you don't,
you don't apologize for breaking me apart
but,
you were never taught apologies.
you were never taught to let apologies
slip from your lips like saliva.
you were never taught to
hold your tongue
or
quiet your voice
or
silence your desires.
you were only taught how to be,
how to get
and
take what you want,
how to break hearts.
how to break the hearts of
lonely,
little,
girls,
like me.
because i was never taught to be strong, to be loud. i had to learn from experience.
