Being Alone Would Have Been Better
She’s lucky that I’m not the monster
They warned her about, and that
I’m a disciplined, capable, careful person.
I’m unlucky that I didn’t notice
The trap I was in, I’m unlucky I didn’t notice
Her foulness. I’m unlucky to have been
Burdened and I’m unhappy that it took
Damn near a decade. I’m unhappy that I wasted
So much time with the wrong person.
Being alone would have been better.
