You called again tonight and filled
the phone with your torrential life.
The new boyfriend who ignores you.
The long nights you spend alone
while he works, or goes out on the town..
The lack of affection, all his bad habits.
I remember the same words and similar tones
when you were unhappy with me
and drifted to another’s arms.
I felt as if I was the guilty one.
The one who deserved your infidelity.
Somehow I forgave you and we stayed friends.
Now my thoughts drift to the bed of nails
you lie upon and a part of me is vindicated,
while another part wants to pull you off.

It surely left a great impact on me.
Amazing feel. It made me thoughtless for a moment.
Great write.
