So
here’s how I think it went down:
I think he was cheating on you
or you suspected
and he gave little reason
for you to think otherwise.

I think you felt betrayed
and a little lost
and needed someone
to make you feel more like yourself
to feel needed
and I could fill that role
quite comfortably.

I think you yearned
for attention unavailable elsewhere.
You just needed a little
I’ll bet
and what I provided
went a little overboard.

I think you started getting more devotion
from your proper man
and got worried
how I might sabotage
your good thing
because I cared for you
too much.

I think you needed to get out
that you needed to break from me
for fear of losing him
more than you had already risked.
I think he got the sense something was up
and realized what he had to lose
and you did too
so you both cleaned up your acts
and that’s why it was necessary
for you to kick me to the curb
effortlessly.

I think you liked me
a little
but liked what you had
so much more.
I think
I was a threat
that could not be tolerated.

How am I doing
so far?
