It's Not You

No.
I am not listening to another version
of the same old STUPID song
that tries to sugar the acid pill
and mutters like a baffled chump
"it's not you, it's me...
or "it's not you, the timing is wrong"
or "Maybe in another life".
DON'T.
It is me.
And I'm all I have,
and my life is what it is,
and I never said otherwise---
so please don't try to crystal glaze goodbye,
because you will never make it taste
like something I would choose.
I am not who you need---
or you don't need me enough,
or my heart is the wrong shape, size or color.
But don't tell me how lucky
someone else will be somday
if I was not marvel enough
to make you want to stay.
