She reveals she was injured. Lachey had moved on so quickly.
“So Nick, are you with someone else yet?” she wrote. “It seems you’ve forgotten the love you spoke to me … It’s only because I’m alone in the dark [with] no one to mention mine, but the night.
“Oh night, love me tenderly, love me calm, find me happy, like me. Oh lord, let your star shine on me tonight.”
Simpson is now married to Eric Johnson and the two share three children, Birdie Mae, 2, Maxwell Drew, 8, and Ace Knute, 7.
