Countdown to Heartbreak

There are Ten thousand ways to break my heart and you managed each and everyone

I believed each of the Nine hundred lies you spoke to me

I dismissed the Eight million calls you ignored or text you never responded to

I forgave you the Seven times you stood me up on our dates

I denied my Sixth sense that you were no good for me

I waited patiently making excuses for why you weren't home until Five in the morning

I rationalized your anger the Four times you punched holes in the drywall as you screamed at the top of your lungs about how I didn't trust you

I pretended that the Three other girls were just acquaintances and meant nothing to you

Until I saw you cheating with my own Two eyes

Wondering why I couldn't be the only One

Until I realized there was Zero love
