less than nothing

well there it is on the table
etched black ink on yellowed paper

the words you spoke aloud
and then wrote down
so i will never forget

i'll never forget
because you're right.

I can't push you away
or blame you

pull you close
beg you for
something like forgiveness

it's all true

"We both know you're everyone else."

what difference does it make
that the only mistake
you ever made
was believing I was more.

I was always less.

and like you said,
"that's worse."
