The Mistake

First, I made no mistake besides saying yes to you. 
I carefully cared for you and waited for you. 
The boys swoon at my feet just for a smile. I could’ve had my choice. 
You were my choice. 
How f*cking dare you accuse me of cheating. 
Bite my tongue. Cinnamon-fire heartburn fills my mouth. 
Fire in my blood, as my body language loudly says nothing. 
Find yourself a new star, because I am going supernova. 
Say goodbye to my light as I fade from your view, leaving you in lugubrious darkness. 
Return, albeit reluctantly, to your vapid existence without my wildfire starlight.
