When you gave me
This empty stare
Saying you didn’t
Even care
If I lived or
If I died…
I pitied you.
An cried, to
Give you the false
Impression
That you’d won,
Just an illusion.
One last gift
For the road…
Pick up your hat
And put on your coat,
Take your hate
With you, Darling!
I’ll hold on to
The good feelings,
Until you change
Your mind,
And if you don’t
That’s fine…
Hate me wholeheartedly
If you will,
For your rancor
Will never kill.

Believe me, I know how exhausting it is to hate. I did that for too many years, and you’re right… All it did was hurt me more. 😌
