10 Things I Hate About You

I hate the way you look at me,

Like everything’s okay-

And how you use that innocent smile

To always get your way.
I hate the way you make me love you

And use me like a tool.

I hate it more how you don’t love me back

And make me feel like a fool.
I hate the way you smother me

And make me swoon in wonder,

When your only real intention is

To cruelly drown me under.
I hate the way you laugh at me;

It makes my self-pity rise.

And I hate the way you always mock me;

It’s venom, sugarcoated in lies.
I hate the way you make me cry;

Your words are like a knife.

They stab their way through my beating heart

And take away my life.
I hate the way you look me in the eyes

And your synthetic love shines through...

But the thing that I hate the most is how

I can’t bring myself to hate you.
