always the last to know

you fuck me
over and over
then you leave
halfway through the night
while i am asleep

do you crawl
into the bed
of another

do you wake up
with her face
lying on your pillow

and then bring me
a cold breakfast
a frigid good morning kiss

after the two of you         
shared hotcakes 
and warm maple syrup
the cream
in your coffees

i should have known
when
you started
bringing cold hash browns
around
as a symbol of your affection

limp
past the point of
consumption
just like you
