To a Boy Who Never Cared

I hope your music chokes you, and I hope all your best friends die. I hope she's better off without you and they miss your last goodbye. I hope when you lie in bed at night you're haunted by the ghost of your past and former lovers, the ones you knew the most. I hope that they remind you now of what you did to me, of all the ways you hurt me but then you set me free. I can breathe on my own now without seeing your silly face. I walk all by myself now with a surprising airy grace. That doesn't mean I don't still hate you; that is far from the truth. I can hardly stand to look at you without wanting to break your tooth. I just don't need you anymore or your lack of love. I can fly on my own free as a dove.
