One Two Three

These stories about us keep popping up on my screens,

And I do not want to believe that they might be real.

Not again, not anymore.

Not me crying on the floor.

You could not find a way out, so you shot right through,

Leaving a wound in my head that is black and blue…

And for what?

Just to spite me?

Do not say that you cannot despise me.

When I was happy, you disguised me

Like being content is an indicator of some disease.

You made a pact with your mouth to never give me peace.

The most painful loves must come in threes

Because I do not want to hear from you,

Do not want to reinvent myself anew.

These stories about us keep popping up on my screens,

And I know I will make it out as long as I scream.
