Happy Birthday, Asshole

It's your birthday next week and
you asked me in your daily notes
to my myspace account
how you should spend it-
with your friends, drinking like sailors,
with your mama because you're a goddamn mama's boy
and I knew that when we were dating
but I chose to ignore it
Because I loved you- and your Mama.
Or with the new love of your life.

How the hell should I know?
You know what I'll be doing on your birthday?
I'll be drinking myself senseless
at a club because the only way for me to stop thinking
about you is to have sex
or get piss drunk-
and then have sex.

Because I remember, years ago,
that we shared our first kiss on your birthday.
And I know that we were teenagers
and that we're adults now
but it doesn't mean it hurts any less.

So how the hell should I know
what would make you happy on your birthday?
Because you made me happy all those years ago
but I wasn't enough.
Because if I were,
then you'd be spending your birthday with me,
instead of choosing between your friends,
your Mama,
or the new love of your life.
