You treated my best friend like dirt.

You used her and dumped her. That hurt.

I gave you the same treatment, and split.

I'll be sorry when you deserve it.

*

My best friend had an innocent soul.

You burned it, like any old coal.

Did you care even one little bit?

I'll be sorry when you deserve it.

*

You put an arrow smack dab through her heart,

And were thrilled to quickly depart.

Did you like it when I gave you shit?

I'll be sorry when you deserve it.

*

This farewell is justified

You take women in stride

I left you with my pride

I hope some of yours died.

*

My friend will get over you soon,

When she hears I made you the buffoon,

She'll be thrilled, you degenerate hpyocrite.

I'll be sorry...never mind...

You deserve it.
