Hate Or Longing?
These feelings I feel
Towards the one who is you,
They are all of hatred,
And I want you to know,
I truly mean every
Cruel word
I say.
In my eyes,
You are no human…
No…
You’re a sickeningly hideous
Devil-like creature.
I despise you with a
Passion
So strong that it’s
Unheard of.
To put it simply,
I wish you would just
Disappear
From my life.
I hate you ever so much,
For after all the shit you
Put me through,
Did you really think I wouldn’t
Resent you?
You sicken me to my very core,
I hate you all day,
Every day,
Please just stay the hell away
From me.
You and I,
We used to be friends,
Until your talents flourished,
And you left me in the dust.
You left me for dead,
My heart broke into
A hundred thousand
Tiny shards.
I guess you could make the
Assumption that
My resent spurs from
The underlying longing
I feel for you.
Though it’s too late,
Can’t turn back time,
Guess I’ll never know
What it would be like
For you to be mine…
Goodbye,
You sickening beast.
