The Conversation I Never Had With My Exes

You don’t need to write poetry or song

Just tell me what went wrong.
How does sweet hello turn into goodbye?
How does laughing with you make me wanna cry?
Tell me now and not tomorrow,
How my days are filled with sorrow.
No need to wait for perfect timing.

Just tell me what went wrong.
My biological clock stopped ticking!
Wish I could stop daydreaming.
No more beating around the bush.
This kind of relationship,
We don’t need to push.
No need to justify your choice.

Just tell me what went wrong.
No more “It’s Not You, It’s Me” cliche.
We gotta stop these dumb charades.
Please stop saying “I love you babe”
If you think it’s all a big mistake.
Let’s not pretend things will work out.

Just tell me what went wrong.
If I were you, I’d be brutally honest,
If you were me, you’d hope for the best.
I can no longer deal with Monday blues.
We’re stuck in a cruise where sky changes its hues.
No need to send mixed signals.

Just tell me what went wrong.
Tell me if you find someone more attractive.
Tell me if I’m too possessive.
Tell me if I shower you with so much love.
Tell me if I wasn’t good enough.
I am not keeping you.

Just tell me what went wrong.
Is she a good kisser?
Am I a better lover?
Does she cook better?
As if what I feel would still matter!
No need to think of alibis or neverending lies.

Just tell me what went wrong.
What happened to “I do”?
Or “Do you love me too”?
When you said “I miss you”
And kissed my cheeks out of the blue.
No need for narcissistic antics.

Just tell me what went wrong.
Do you really wanna see me cry?
Is that why you never said goodbye?
Is ghosting for you an easy thing?
Don’t you care about anything?
No need to answer all these questions.

Just tell me what went wrong.
PLEASE tell me what went wrong.
So one day, I can finally sing 
my broken song.
