I began crying at the dinner table
I swear I wanted to eat, my stomach felt empty
But the memory of him weighed on me far worse than my need to eat
My mom watched and worried as I twirled the fork around
I thought of Los Angeles and how I shouldn't have insisted on going but I never know when to stop
That's my fault
I don't know how to tell my heart that he didn't want Us
And now I can't empty this plate
