that old apple watch u gave me,
u know~ the one your ex gifted u
& u didn’t bother telling me until months later~
yeah, i went & traded it in
& got me something newer & better
just like i did u
i traded u in for my peace, my life, my happiness
i got my life back
the watch was used just like u used me
the watch was old just like our love now seems to be
it’s funny because the watch was regifted
kinda like u belonging to someone else in marriage
& stuck on ur exes in the ways u would project onto me constantly
but still wanting to regift yourself to me
made yourself seem shiny & new, ready for someone like me
yet u had to lie constantly just to appear worthy enough to keep me
wasn’t it ur ex who ended up being the one to tell me you’re married?
& that u were still wearing the promise ring she gifted u?
how obsessive of u, & manipulative
yet u called me the manipulative one
i laugh because it truly is hilarious to me now
u were never truthful with me
but now i know it is because i am levels above what u will never reach
u had ur chance with someone so beautiful & sweet
a Goddess, in every way she can be
& your 15 minutes ran out
see i wore that watch on my wrist for months,
not knowing it belonged to someone from ur past
i carried around that energy
& truth be told i am too good for it
so i did the right thing for myself
& got rid of it
just like ur love letters,
just like those gifts,
just link our matching bracelets
because i want nothing associated with u
i cannot wait for the day my body sheds all the cells that ever were in contact with u
the day cannot come soon enough where i no longer remember ur name
ur memory, i abhor it
& i can never look back on our time fondly,
for it was anything but sweet
be rid of me forever,
& live with the consequences.
