this is how you validate yourself
by Wendy Gealyou think its funny
when you say iloveyou
and don't even mean it
and watch her eyes light up
as her arms wrap around you
though you've watched the same glow
the night before
shining in someone elses eyes
you were faithful once
(first loves can be such a charm)
until she did you over
and now all you bleed out
are excuses
but your name isnt karma
and i have learned
to shut off
the light in my own eyes
to men like you.
