I despise those poems I wrote
You didn’t deserve a syllable
Like Beyonce said,
You’re not irreplaceable
The spot you left can be filled
A weaker man would be killed
But I rise like the phoenix
I stayed around for too long
You don’t know what you’re missing
I’m going to haunt your dreams
My face will appear all over
Including in the next one you’re kissing
Right now I pray you choke
Feeling guilty for your deeds
You’re exactly what I don’t need
I’m actually happy things changed
Remember how I used to smile
When I used to see your face
Remember how I was once eager
To feel your warm embrace
Those feelings have washed away
Out with the tides of deceit
I never release words of anger
But I can’t tolerate disrespect
I was nothing but fantastic
And kindness is all I expect
Your transgressions will live on
In these words I’m writing now
Maybe then you’ll see the truth
Forget everything I ever said
The meaning has been revoked
I couldn’t wait for change
I don’t wish you happiness
I’m washing my hands of this
Your name won’t come up
In conversation with others
I’ll forget you out west
See me in the California sun
Soaking up rays and having fun
And be endlessly jealous
That’s what you deserve
These lines have a new harshness
I’ve never felt in all my years
What am I supposed to do?
Lay down and die like a dog?
I’m not going to be your fool
Find someone else to abuse
Because I’m already out the door
