Rejection to Perfection…(A woman scorned)

When you abandoned

and left me

I reinvented myself

So when we met again

You will fall in love

with the new me

The way I looked at you

through and under

my painted eyelashes

The lingering glances

I gave you

The secret smiles

through the seductively painted lips

The way I tilted my head

to look at you

with silent promises…

I know

all these were driving you insane

Now that I’m done with you

I’m going to leave

wipe my hands and

forget that you existed

But before that

I want you to know

Honey, you stood no chance

When you left me

I reinvented myself

to make you fall in love with me

so that I could break your heart

into small little pieces

and abandon you

Now, we are even.
