Turn from you

375, 9000, 540000
You had me around your pinky finger.
Days, hours, minutes,
lost from our lives
We both seem to agree.

I cried for two, two too many
You forgot in one
All the SHIT I did for you
You left in four,
Never looking back.

I know what you want,
What I couldn't give,
So much for respect
So much for "treat her like a princess"
He'll drop your pants for you, then you'll be happy.

Roses: $100
Stuffed animals: $30
Movies: $15
Time: too long
Moving on, never to make the same mistake twice: Priceless

Now I turn from you,
I turn to new.
Soon I'll burn it all,
Only a matter of days
Before all we had is ashes.

I don't know if you meant to bring some light-hearted-ness into this, but I think it was effective. I can feel your frustration and resentment, but then you just throw in that mastercard (?) commercial block, and I really get the impression that there's hope for you in the near future! Not that there wasn't...haha. I wish you the best of healing.
