THOSE GIRLS

by ZURI

We are the ones
that lie
in your beds, or to your faces.

We just want to fill
your spaces,

okay ours,
maybe
both?

We never meant to hurt you.
but heartbreak?

is inevitable,
and when
if ever tears fall,

we are not the ones
to call, that is,
we are the heart
ripping love stealing

smile and sleep with your boyfriend,
those girls—

we are the liars
the dark that was left
behind but keep in mind

someone made us
this way.
We were once you
but that was yesterday.
