22/12/09

it was what i had been dreading
the phone too

it trembled and glowed
its blue light
at the shock of what it had received

she hates to see me chipper
because i was the one
and i don't understand
how hard it is for her

i reply
some bullshit
because i can't say
one of the many things
i would like to say:

i miss you
i hate you
i'm trying not to rub salt in the wounds
i've hurt you
i've hurt me
i still love you

so i say
i know, i'm sorry

and she says
no, you really, really
don't know

just keep on with your chipper
fucking mornings and gigs
and forget about me

well
i can't

i want to
i hate you
i miss you
i've hurt you
i hate me, and
i still love you
