You ask me where things went wrong

and i could list a million little moments:

How you talked about your ex,

your sister.

How the women in your life

somehow…

inexplicably…

didn’t know what was good for them.

So obviously, your lectures were helpful.

I wonder if I am that woman now,

an ex

(you talk to new women about),

who just didn’t know a good thing

when she had it.
