KALEIDO ZINE

i hate you

and i hate how you left

i hate that i’ll never see you again

i hate that everything reminds me of you

i hate that you chose my name

i hate that i got that dimple from you

i hate that you gave me my last name

i hate that all my poems are about you

i hate that everything that goes wrong in my life is somehow related to you

i hate that i have to cry myself to sleep every night just thinking of you

i hate that i miss you everyday

i hate that i’ll never hear your voice again

i hate that all my writings feel like a eulogy to you

i hate that no matter how hard i try

i cannot hate you

not even a little bit

not at all.
