BITTER

It could happen without warning
After three decades of grief
What are the odds of seeing you?
Doubt you’d  remember me.

Not a single day goes by
Without a painful memory
I could say it doesn’t matter
But,  it still does bother me.

Do you even recognize me?
Can you recall my name? 
I’m the one that’s still in  mourning
I’m the one that’s still in pain!

Heard that you had gotten married
How much is her dowry worth?
Must be quite a fortune 
If you’re  still living with her. 

Do I sound like I am bitter?
You’re damn right, I am
You pulled me in, used me up
It’s you ….who is to blame. 

Told me that you loved me
Then took off my clothes
Did things to me repeatedly
Things  no one will ever know. 

So much shame and heartache
You were my worst mistake 
Standing here, seeing you
Makes my body shake.

My number? Are you kidding?
I never want to see you again
You’re a narcissist, a psychopath 
You are and have always been. 

Evil lies within you
Surging through your veins 
You better keep your distance
Don’t come near me, ever again!
