hate


i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you you made a choice it was not a "mistake" people don't make mistakes like that. you are disgusting every time i am forced to lay eyes on you i wonder do you know? do you know how much i wish i could make you feel just as awful as you made them feel do you know? do you know do you know do you know i knew someone who described you as "sweet" all sweet things turn sour eventually you were always sour, though you would stare you would stare and stare and stare at us at our breasts and our doll eyed faces we wore sweaters in the summer because we didnt want your fucking eyes over our goddamn bodies you do nothing you are nothing i hope you stay nothing i am not a person who forgives. i am not a person who will forget i hope you understand that i hope you understand that if the world is burning i would not take your hand touch the fingers that traced over her thigh i hate you so much maybe it is wrong maybe i am a bad person but i will never save you do you know that, boy?
