someone else loves me now
what a painful truth it is
that I was always right
all those times I said
I loved you more.
“I love you most”
you’d say,
but those were always just words
weren’t they?
but still today I find those same words
rolling off my tongue,
cutting themselves on my teeth,
braving the trek across my lips,
breathed to another—
and knowing when he says
“I love you most”
he means it.
so here you go.
today I give you back all of these boxes,
empty where sentiment should have gone.
