hurt

if you were a building

i’d throw rocks

& break out all your windows

if you were a photograph

i would tear you in half

if you were a love letter

i would scribble you out  

if you were the end of a movie

i’d thow popcorn

& spill my soda

so the floors were annoyingly sticky

then boo and hiss while the credits rolled

 

But since you are a man

there’s nothing I can do

to make

you feel my hurt.

I was glad to hear that this wasn’t about your hubby ( I was worried there for a moment)
HURT —just hurts and no amount of revenge makes it better.
nothing really erases it
