They never stay.

                
             
When a man states "I care" and "I'm here"  .. it's only temporary.                
               
I am ONLY his..                
               
 temporary                
               
fix..                
               
and cheap thrill..                
               
for what's been missing in his                
life.                
               
I'm no loss of yours if you                
never wanted me to stay  to begin with..                
               
except on your                
 terms.                
               
Never mine.                
               
Take more than you ever give me.                
               
"A one sided relationship."                
 as you call it.                
               
Until you've had your  
fill.                
               
Get your kicks in while you can, baby..                
               
then cut me loose.                
               
Did I make you feel good?                
Did you enjoy my              
attention?                
               
Send me a goodbye email with the headliner:                
               
Thanks for the memories.                
               
And that's how I learned to survive.                
               
This little girl.                
               
On my own.                
               
Because they always leave.               
               
I remain in the shadows of their past                
regrets..                
               
until one day I am forgotten.                
               
Its the new norm for me.                
               
That's a lie.                
               
It's not so new.                
               
What is new..                
               
is how detached I am.                
               
I don't feel anymore.                
               
No hurt.                
               
No pain.                
               
An emptiness devoid of..                
               
anything..              
               
in sight.                
               
Just another letdown.                
               
It's happy hour somewhere.                
Out there in the real world.                
Not here with you.                
               
Never with you.                
               
Let's find my happiness in a glass..                
               
if only fleeting.                
               
Going forward.
