it’s funny how

there was life before you

there was life before you ruined mine

there was good life before you broke me

I was looking through

old pictures

old videos

old memories from when I was younger

the smile

on that little girl’s face?

it was real

unlike the one I plaster on

most days now

you hadn’t ruined her

you hadn’t tore her apart

you hadn’t even met her

and she hadn’t met you

and everything was okay

everything was good

life was good

I hate you

I hate you for ruining my life

that little girl?

she’s gone because of you

I can’t smile like that anymore

everything revolves around what you did to me

you ruined my life

that little girl?

she couldn’t hate you

she didn’t know how to hate

but me?

now?

yeah

I hate you

I hate you for everything you did to me

I hate you for tearing me apart

I hate you for breaking me

I hate you for ruining my life

but most of all

I hate you for forgetting

forgetting what you did to me

not knowing how much you hurt me

not caring about it either

you simply moved on

and left me there

alone and confused

broken

broken by you
