What is love?

t's been over two months since you left us
something you swore you'd never do
it took me this long to realize you have no intention of coming back
your promises were always empty, just like the future you swore you'd give us
i see you now, smiling in her pictures
maybe if i stare at your face long enough i will forget how much i used to love it too
yet here i lie with tears running down my face, hoping our son doesn't wake up to see them
knowing you probably haven't thought about us in weeks
at least that's what the caller id says
maybe i will see your smile again one day, with those perfect teeth and lips i used to kiss
then again, i never did know how to make you happy
did i?
