Jealous

I'm not
jealous

that you
have a 
better chance
at getting him

than me

I'm angry
that you
took him
from me

when my life
was perfect

And I'm hurt
That you

didn't respect
our friendship
enough

to know
when to
back off

And I know
that he
likes you

more than
me

and I 
just want
him

to ignore you

and come to me
instead

I'm NOT
jealous.

This was written from the point of view of a friend of mine- on me. Apparently I 'stole' her 
boyfriend. (Who didn't actually happen to like her, so her chasing after him was pointless)
