The Ex-Girlfriend

The Unnecessary Line Challenge

THE EX-GIRLFRIEND

I see she took my man

Okay, yeah, we ended,

But that is still my man.

All the men I befriended,

He wasn't a fan,

So he moved on and forgot about me

Okay, yeah I had multiple men

But they all meant nothing to me

I only had them around when

You weren’t talking to me

You said I wasn’t loyal,

But who needs that when you’re royalty.

Now you have a new girl

And she’s your world.

Now I’m asking “what about me?”

We have so much history.

Why doesn’t it matter to you?

Because it matters to me.

I see she took my man.

He doesn’t look at me.

He doesn’t crave me.

My power is gone.

And I am bored.
