In retrospect, I don’t respect
Things you’ve done and said
The way you used me
You had me confused, see
My love was blind for you, but I ain’t deaf
I heard you when you said her name
I saw you, see you – you’re still the same
Today, you’ll know
I’m done with your show
Of preconditioned mercy and affect
You can never know the real me,
You could never see inside me
Behind my face
My secret place
Is not for any pompous pest
That’s how I see you now
You’ve lost your charm somehow
We can’t be “friends”
Or make amends
A clean cut is what works best
You think I need you, I needed you
You think I want you, I wanted you
But tables turned,
My love has burned
The ashes made me a woman I respect
A woman with a mind serene
I’m more than just a figurine
Done with the lie
That your love devised
I’m happier than you’ve ever been!
