you've been 'unfriended'
i changed your name in my contacts to
'slimey bastard johnson'
it's true that i don't ever want to hear from you again
i don't want a single bit of datum about you

but

i want to leave you with a final impression of me
the feel and tone of this
is what i'm hoping you'll remember

you're a sick fuck for what you did
but i'm not hurt anymore
just pissed off
my anger has made some things clear
i know some things now
i can read the braille of my battle scars
and know the truth
we were never what we thought we were
we were beating a dead horse
over and over
by injecting it with
love that wasn't that all-encompassing virus
that i know to exist
it was a vaccine that kept me from the real thing
so i'm thankful that you ended it

and now

now that i'm the eX
i can dig up the treasure trove of insults
i've always wanted to hurl


you're uncultured, unintelligent,
and can't carry on a decent conversation
your responses were so slow and insipid
as to make me not want to speak at all
you should really brush your teeth
because that was gross
and it was incredibly stupid
to get those star wars tattoos
you look like an idiot
your friends are crass
and too stupid to know how to live
there's no love in a blunt that you pass around
no compassion or kindness or friendship
just the spit of people infected with apathy

you're a waste of life
and i hate you for what you did
so don't say you're sorry
or that you miss me
because, asshole?
i don't give a shit.
