The last petal

The last petal fell and I never gave you everything. I can never love you. And I know you need me, but you don’t see my face. You only want and want. And you say you can tell when I’m lying or not – you can’t – but here it is: I don’t love you, I could never love you. You are empty.

& I know exactly who you are.
& I’m falling away from you.

A bitter taste on my lips. Every time I said I love you.
I don’t.

And…
Nothing’s here. Not anymore.
I dream in someone else’s arms. And you are but a memory of something that should have never happened.
