Tell me about the shame
Is it heavy
Does it press you down
Render you emotionless
A lone cold cube in a beverage
A shapeless stranger in a dive bar
Rubbing his fingers together
While eating an appetizer
Lighting his smokes far too long
Looking at me with that stoic peripheral Stare
How it makes me laugh
The joke we turned out to be
Your worst delivery yet
This even tops the leek
I warm myself by burning our dreams
In the spot we lived
The shadows we used to inhabit
Every word you spit with love
Every gift of expansion
that somehow made you smaller
Every lie wearing gold
As a distraction
Bet you hoped with all you had
That I wouldn't see your true form
Do you try to snap me back
Do you look for angel numbers
Do you remember my smell
As hard as you try
To deny
The pillow is sniffed dry
And there are no more
replacements
This sad pathetic truth
We had it all wrong
It was actually that
I was never your person
And you knew all along
