I Hate You Poem by Megan Colligan

I hate you

I hate you so much it hurts



I hate your smile...

Your eyes...

Your mouth....

'U' knows, and takes the letters South



Where 'U' is no longer with the M, o, t, h

And then you burn me with your flame

Just because I was looking for the North



Yet hate isn't like a compass...

Otherwise, I would have known to steer clear



Clear of the 'U', of which I don't know

An island of mystery,

that brings me misery whenever I get too close



For I can see it was just a fantasy...



'U' was actually a mainland

Its shape had already anchored, like me

Unlike me, 'U' found somewhere else.



A shore so beautiful, with rich blonde sand.

Of course you would have fallen,

When perfection is at your hands



And then the tide comes crashing in,

Leaving me wrecked and washed-up.




And you see me




See me up-close with your telescope

Galileo in art and design



You see my weapon that I wear on my sleeve,

And break it...



Taking it with you as you sail away,

Turning your back,

And moving on to new shores... This time black



And despite all that you feel, say and do,

I can't help but hate you
