When he tells you he no longer wants you
Throw back your head and laugh
Make sure it is dripping with venom
When he says he no longer loves you
Look him straight in the eyes and say
“Thank God”
When he comes crawling back when night time rolls around
When he needs someone to fill the spaces in his bed
Lock your doors
Dance around your house and scream
“I am free, I am free, I am free”
