And your hurt turns into anger
And then tears and then a broken plate
On the floor from when you threw it
At the wall, screaming his name
After everything has been said and done
And the cut on your wrist heals
And the scar fades and you don't even remember
Why he left or that it
Even happened
After everything has been said and done
And he marries someone else
And they have three kids
Two boys and a girl
Like he always wanted, like you never did
After everything has been said and done
And his name and face never cross your mind
As memory is replaced by others
Who leave their own scars and broken plates
And let hurt turn into anger and then tears
After everything has been said and done
A dull ache in your heart remains
It sometimes travels to your throat and strangles words
Or moves down to your legs, making you trip and stumble
As you find your way in this world
Moving in and out of other people's lives
But never his
