unadded, exiled from the kingdom
i think back to his enchanting features
and weep bitterly, proclaiming:
oh, woe is me, a person exiled from
the city walls which guards against barbarians
I am desultory when it comes to
how I never want to speak to you again
I haven't unadded you on social media
maybe I should
should I?
I don't watch your insta stories
that's a good step
I don't talk to you anymore
good for me
desultory: lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm
i may look like i’m thriving
and i may look like i’m fine
but inside i’m dying
because you were never mine

sure, we were dating
but your heart was never in the right place
you waited and waited
and then i was immediately replaced

during that time of waiting
i stayed by your side
i knew we were over
before you even said goodbye

we ended on good terms
or at least so i thought
until i saw you unadded me
i guess you forgot

you forgot how much i needed you
and how you were my very first
funny how you thought
i was just someone to hurt

you had told me forever
but forever you forgot
so now i’m just a ghost
trapped in the pain you brought.
