Hate

It might not have been your fault,
But my system's looking for someone to blame.

I hate it when you stare
When you smile
When you speak
When you laugh
When you poke my forehead.

I hate you for the music you play,
for the jokes you crack.

I hate you,
I hate you.
I hate you.

I hate you for your semi-innocence
I hate you for your apathy
I hate you for being gentle,
gently breaking me apart.

I hate you for being there
But I hate you more for not being here.
I hate you for all that you are
and all that you have become for me.

I hate you because I just do.
But I hate it more because I just can't
not hate you.

+ + +

But I just can't burn you each time you pass me by.
I stop, smile and burn myself instead.
