and now what do I do
without you?
revert to hyperfeminism?
swear off boys completely?
date every one I can find?
try a different shampoo?
pluck my eyebrows carelessly?
throw away the notes you wrote?
rip you out of my pictures?
lie that I never cared anyway?
put on a smile when you're mentioned?
pretend I don't miss you?
hope we can work this out?
reject hope all together?
pray for strength to move on?
dream of the days we were okay?
thank God for a good experience?
chalk it up to a hard lesson learned?
shop wrecklessly without a thought of you?
sing loudly songs you never liked?
listen carefully for how I can relate?
wonder what you're doing now
without me?
