smarter

i'm so angry

because i knew better
because i'm sick of hard bitterness
and wishing
and worrying about whether someone's called me
after two days

and whether i can kiss without being
easy
and whether i can talk without being
a bore

and i'm sad
but i've got my own back
life goes on and i'm nobody's
second chance;

his boredom stings me but i won't
pick that burden up
i knew better and i know better
and i won't ever forget how to keep on
moving on
