Theme: Hatred
Have I not given enough?
All the compliments you gave me turned into a bluff.
I learned how to stop liking you,
But your promises of staying away from me were not true.
I tried to avoid you,
But you didn’t have a clue.
You kept mocking me,
Why couldn’t you just set me free?
I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping you would stop because I trusted my gut.
But nothing had changed—
Only fuming glances were exchanged.
I decided to go with the flow,
But your offensive jokes suddenly turned into a show.
You were clueless about your boundaries,
My thoughts about you turned into a dark abyss.
Because of our miscommunication,
You no longer became my inspiration.
I was disgusted by your existence,
I wanted to keep our distance.
I thought hating you would give me peace of mind,
But you only ended up talking about me from behind.
All I could do was hope,
That I could hang on a rope.
When would you stop?
Would you stop if a tear dropped?
If that was how we were going to be,
Why did I bother forcing you to like me?
I wish I never met you,
Because of what you turned into.
It was best if we never knew each other,
Because my hatred for you could no longer be covered.
