Me, and Everybody Else
You said you loved me
I let down my robe
I gave you a sight of what I had
never let
any other man behold,
Then you said you needed me,And
just
like Isaac lay still on the altar
Without a fight or argument with
his
father
Because of the unquestionable trust
that
he had,
I too lay down on your bed
Convinced my racing thoughts and
tensed
up nerves to rest
Then I gave you full control of
everything
that I had
And I was willing to always go by this
trend
If and only when...
You promised one thing
That you would always love me,
That you would always need me,
I begged you to promise
You quickly said yes...
Magical doesn't fully describe it
Lets call it beautiful
You took me up the clouds over the
hills
Unable to take normal calculated
breaths
But still finding utmost pleasure in
the
struggle to stay alive
I was yours and you were mine
We were each other's for the rest
of our
lives...
The lunch after I could rarely touch
my
food
I kept mixing and turning the rice
inside
the soup
My mind going back to that moment
Replaying every second without
missing a
single detail
Pausing and rewinding for better
sound
effects
I was what they called stupified
Dazzled by your love...
Mary tapped me
Saving me from being consumed by
this my
midday dream
'Guess what I forgot to tell you
John texted me this morning
Saying that he had missed me
And that he wanted us to meet
And the shocking bit is
He said that he loved and needed
me
I really don't......'
I didn't hear the rest of what she
said
My brain had frozen at that
sentence
The exact same words that you
had
used to lure me into your bed
I felt my gut crump and congest
For a moment, I couldn't even feel
my
legs...
I wanted to ask you how you could
betray
me
How you could play and toy with my
feelings
How you would callously go against
your
sworn promise,
And then rude reality hit me
Our terms of agreement
Did not restrict your heart's
movement
'Always love me
Always need me'
Yes...
But you were free to add everybody
else.
