I Hate You For Making Me Hate You

Why can't exes just fall off the face of the earth?

I see your face 

Thanks be, in a photo

You are so ugly now

You used to be handsome.

It is like the insides

Caught up with the outer 

The bitter person within

Shows clearly in your eyes.

And every time I think 

I am over you, I am moved on

You pop back up to remind me

Somehow I am stuck with you. 

Stuck for life 

A prison cell devised 

Back in the day, when in love

We vowed to never be apart. 

You know damn well

I want nothing to do 

With anything that you are 

Anything that you stand for. 

What used to glitter 

And shine so brightly 

In my stupid love-struck eyes 

Is now dull and tattered. 

And yet, you persist 

Wanting to be my friend? 

I cannot, shall not ever 

Bestow such an honor. 

I try not to hate 

Knowing it is wrong. 

But when I think of you, 

That is all I feel inside.

Wonderfully written. You have such a great way of putting things and I know that you never want to hate a man so think this from this day forth... Thank him for the amazing kids he gave you but you no longer need him in your life. So be happy with who you are, love your kids and love yourself.

I know, I know. Every time I think I have moved on though ... ugh!

No ugh to it. We all have those moments within us, even myself.
