Dear Lover


To the one I loved,

I hate that you said you loved me

I hate that you lied

I hate that you said that

You loved me forever

And it was only a little while

I hate that I miss you

I hate that I tried

And I hate that I wasted my time

 

I learned a lesson from you

Trust isn’t something

To just be tossed around

I better be careful next time

Choosing who to keep around

 

I hate that I still cry

I hate that you said goodbye

I hate that the past haunts me

And it stares me in the eyes

 

You put me in last place

And you showed me that you didn’t care

That you don’t care

And that you never did

 

I hate that you made me build a wall

I hate that I trusted you

I hate that I can’t trust again,

No, not ever again

I’ve learned my lesson
