Cʜᴇᴀᴛᴇʀ

It used to be just you and me

Always living our lives so freely


And then one night you came home late

I had to reheat your dinner plate


And hide the tear stains on my cheeks

That was the third time you were late that week


And I almost knew what was going on

But you held me and rocked me and sang me a song


But what was quite peculiar

Was the scent of vanilla on your shirt


But you convinced me I was your only

And I foolishly believed that it was just me


I forgot about it for a long while

But I still felt like we were falling out of style


And then another night you don’t show up

I decided then and there I’d had enough


I used the tracker on my phone

To find the reason you weren’t coming home


You were in a Target parking lot

The weird thing is that you were stopped


So I drove down to the grocery store

And behold my widened eyes, galore


There you were, in the backseat

Tangled up with a woman but I only saw her feet


And I did not like the sounds that were coming to my ears

It was everything that I had ever feared


Am I not enough? I asked,

Telling him he’s such an ass


He’s stuck in a state of denial

But he ain’t denying this trial


You know what? I say,

We’re done, have a horrible day


And I got in the car and stepped on the gas

Trying to get away from him - and fast!
