You left me out
To get hard and stale
And now
I’m just crusty
You might as well bake me
Into garlic bread
So someone will appreciate me
That someone
Won’t be you
I know
I know that you don’t like it
You hate garlic
And that’s why
I want to cover myself in it
And make myself into
The best damn garlic bread
I can possibly be
Because I don’t need you
To be me
