Oh Friend, I Should Hate You Poem by Cena Rose

You’ve got no originality
No shame
No life
No game

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You humiliate me
And hate I should

You show me life’s wrongs
Life’s horrors and fights
Life’s demeaning side
And only it’s horrid sights

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You’d kill me
And hate I should

You told me
More than once
That I’m too soft
And dumb as a dunce

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You make me cry
And hate I should

Don’t lie to me
For I know too well
That you’re not sorry
You’re the saint that fell

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You’d drown me
And hate I should

More than once you’ve said
I’m skinny and short
I’m ugly and fat
I’m a ship that could never find a port

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You’d take advantage of me
And hate I should

You’ve dried me of my patience
And money to give
You’ve shown me no mercy
And yet you wish for me to live?

I hate you
Oh I wish I could
You try to control me
And hate I should

You now worry
Of why I do things today
You now worry
And try to Make me shout ‘Hooray! ’

But wait a minute, Just
Stop.
Take a minute to ponder
Take the bad memories and crop.

And see what is left
Of our friendship of hate
Or how much I desired to...
And maybe that really compensates

Because I Should hate you
But I hate you all
I’m sitting lonely here
And there’s no one to catch me
-As I fall.
