oh how you whispered
sweet honeyed lies in my ear
now you’ve left and
you say:
‘girl, you’ll learn to love again’
let me swallow these sickly sweet
saccharine pills
candy-coated lips and
sugar-crusted tongue
belly full
left unsatisfied
wanting more because
it’s something
anything at all
better than being
empty

I love that EC. I sort of said something like that to my ex-husband. Fortunately we are friends and he knows I genuinely mean it.

Yes, I’ve been here. Learning that empty is not so bad. Or maybe that I am already full. ❤️
