East Fork:
A Journal of the Arts
I gave you all of my time,
All of my attention,
All of my love
And yet,
You went back to Him
I’m not Him
I was always compared to Him
“He always took me places”
“He always bought me things”
But,
I’m not Him
I am me
I am strong
I am independent
That doesn’t matter because
I’m not Him
I will never be Him
I’m okay with that
Are you?
He was your first love
I know you’ll never forget Him -All of the great things he did
But,
It seems like you have forgotten the terrible things
The screaming in the car
Cheating on you
Blaming you for everything
Faking things for attention
I never did any of that
It doesn’t matter though
Why?
I am not Him
I'm Not Him
