Ways to be cruel

There are many ways to be cruel,
like that time you said nothing
when I told you I missed you
or when you pretended to forget
that pizza is my favorite food.
But the worst was when you proposed
you might be better off alone
and I though I might be too
because then I could remember
when your lips opened
like a butterfly’s wings
instead of a knife.
