The divide.

You could have seen this coming

if you’d noticed her

you could have seen this coming

if you’d saved her the best

instead of leftover pieces presented as a gift

pushed aside too

many times

Made to feel she was worth far less than the rest

you could have seen this coming

if you’d wanted to her to stay

you could have seen this coming

long before yesterday

this shouldn’t be a surprise

you could have seen this coming

before she said goodbye
