I wrote this poem in 2001 after a really horrible breakup with the second “S” who cheated on me with ex wife the entire time he was with me. Needless to say, I was super angry about this and being the 20 year old I was at that time included lots of cringy cliches in this poem. The upside to this that at least I didn’t go slash his tires. Lol.

I hate to whine
But I can’t get you out of my mind
It’s your lying, scoundrel face I see
and the pile of emptiness left in me
It’s the deep hurting pain
Why did you have to be so damn lame
I hate to whine
but I was looking for a sign
That you weren’t the old repetitive story
A hero who’s lost all his glory
That you were my true soul mate
Not someone who would fill me with hate
That you were the man of my dreams
Not the one who wears the crown of pathetic, loser king
I hate to whine
But you literally wasted my time
I didn’t think you were this disgusting 2-face rat
Who was just full of a lot of crap
I didn’t think you were such a creep
And that I could feel heartache so deep
