I Don'T Want You To Be Glad Poem by Jack Williams

I don’t want you to be glad
When you hear I’m doing well,
Or to think it’s not that bad
Because I’m halfway out of Hell.

I don’t want you being delighted
If you hear I’m doing fine;
I want you to feel like I did
When you hung me out to dry.

I don’t want you happy for me
Because I’m moving on;
I want you weeping jealously
And singing lonely songs.

I don’t want you to be pleased
That I’ve begun to f*ck around;
I still want you feeling guilty
For the way you let me down.

So save your kindly wishes,
Give them to someone else:
The new one in your breeches
Will want them for himself.
