Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor any of its characters. Although I do own a kick-butt Sakura cosplay, three very sharp shiruken, and way too many DVD's. I am making no money for this, and no copywrite infringement is intended. Not that I should even need this really, as no names are even mentioned in the poem, but I like to cover my butt.

Author's Note: So my muse still hates my stories, but apparently has this poetry thing stuck in her head. Here's another one, also inspired by "10 Things I Hate About You," although this one deviates a bit more from the metrics of that poem. There are technically 13 hates here, although only ten are directed at him. One in generic, the other two are directed at herself. This time it's Sakura lamenting about her lost love. This can be set anytime within the first few years after Sasuke left.


Love

By Lady Callista

I hate what happened in your past

And what it made of you

I hate the arrogance in your eyes

Hate more when truth shows through

I hate that I confessed my love

And laid my feelings bare

I hate you for treating my love

As though it were not there

I hate your pride which forces you

To always hide your pain

I hate you for the night you fled

And left me barely sane

I hate you that thought me weak

You didn't see my strength

All you saw was your damn revenge

You'd go to any length

I was so angry that you left

I hate that we're apart

And I hate you for not caring

That you once broke my heart

I hate you cause I love you still

My heart will not reverse its fall

So I hate me cause I love you

And that's the sharpest hate of all
