Sometimes I think
you think that I’m kidding
when I say that I hate you

I can’t stand you

You’ve got me listening to love songs

I can’t stand soft music
a heart in the way
When I’m trying to live my life
And trust me I have a whole lot to deal with

I don’t have time
To write poems
To condescending
Unfeeling
And self possessed people

I don’t like waiting at traffic lights
Lips parted
And so hungry, always hungry

For your kiss

I don’t like you

A person like you could make me renounce
Nina Simone
