Goodbye

to my first real jerk

who read me poetry

spoke spiritedly of trips 

we would never take

who broke my heart

little by little, it hurt more

by being in my city 

with somebody else

told me I was pretty 

lied to me and worse,

told me the ugly truth

I lied too, you know

said I wished you well

but I wish you hurt

I wish you suffer and 

regret letting me go

wonder how you ever

tired of me and looked

another way at an other

I hope we run into 

each other and you are

alone and I am with

someone better than you

I hope someone else

hurts you as much


as you have hurt me.
