I hate you. I hate everything about you. I hate the way you look at me. I hate the way you stare right through my smile and see the real me. I hate how I can try so hard and yet I still can't lie to you. I hate the way you put me under a magnifying glass even though you know how much I hate it. I hate the way you need to delve deeper. I hate the way you won't just accept me at face value. I hate the way you make me feel like my every move is being judged.
I hate the way you have to be so serious all the time. I hate the way you can't smile. I hate how you can't be playful. I hate how you refuse to play my games. I hate the way you won't laugh with me.
I hate how you never get drunk. I hate how even a dozen bottles of hard liquor doesn't make you any less serious. I hate how, even when you're intoxicated, every word you speak is careful precise and piercing.
I hate how blunt you are. I hate how you aren't afraid to speak your mind. I hate how insensitive you are. I hate how you press me for the truth, knowing how much pain you cause me. I hate how cold your words are.
I hate the way you yell all the time. I hate how tense you always are. I hate the way you can't relax. I hate the way you can't have fun. I hate the way you look so angry all the time. I hate the way you stand back and watch while we have all the fun.
I hate the way you don't know a thing about me and yet you act like you do. I hate the way you think you know how I should act. I hate how you tell me I should believe. I hate how you think I should trust in others.
I hate how insistant you are on getting home. I hate how you look so far ahead that you can't see what's right in front of your face. I hate the way you live in the future. I hate the way you make it seem as though you'll forget us all the very second you return home. I hate the way we're all just an obstacle to you. I hate the way we're all just a burden to you. I hate the way I'm so certain I'll fade from your memory like a bad dream.
I hate you for being you. I hate that I can't make you smile, make you laugh, make you have a little fun. But I hate you most of all because you're what I could have become.
