I Love to Hate You
You sicken me
the filth on your face
tells me where you’ve been
Id’ rather crush your head
than climb into bed
next to you
Don’t wink at me
and try to be coy
I see right through your deceit
A decent person wouldn’t do so
but I suppose that
is not your forte
I don’t cry
I don’t even care
To me, you mean nothing anymore
I dream of choking you, at night
while you sleep, then
maybe I’d be happy
Keep it up
play your charade
soon I will walk away from you
But maybe I’ll stay and make your life
as miserable as you
have made mine
