Word Spit

You looked at me that night with tears in your eyes,
spitting out words you'd thought would ease the pain.
You said you weren't meant to be the monogamous type,
that you could never be with just one woman,
that you became bored easily,
that I wasn't enough.
You told me I was the other woman who could mother your child,
that no woman would ever love her like I do,
that it was my eyes you wanted in your offspring.
You promised me there was no one else.
You lied.
You lied about it all and I took your word.
Her name was never supposed to slip.
You said you wanted her and I to be friends.
You didn't want our daughter to grow up like you did,
that you didn't want her to be dragged into our battles.
You expected me to believe but you lied.
You lied.
You lied and I told you to fuck off.
I would told you I would never trust you again,
that I had no faith in a man who would abandon his child,
that I thought you were a piece of shit.
I said you were breaking her heart, not mine,
that you weren't hurting me,
that she will ask you one day why you don't love her.
And you will lie.
Go fuck yourself.
