It’s been nearly 
five years 
and I’ve grown

for nearly five years. 
There’s nothing I want 
more than us.

that you used to fill
and it felt so hollow,
and cold, and broken

but I want
the man you used to be
or at least
the man I thought you used to be
before I found out how often and
how easily you lie

i wanted to
give you another chance
but then I remembered
you lie to me
you hurt me

and every time
you … Read the rest
