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.
