can’t hate you

Linda M. Crate

i can’t pretend to hate you
because i’ll always love
you
it’s one of my greatest flaws
i love too much and i care too hard,
and always i give myself
to all the wrong
people;
never know who to trust
because every bad person has told me
they were a “good” one that wouldn’t
hurt me but that’s not true
they always leave me
behind
always tire of me after a time—
i can’t pretend i don’t still hurt even after
all these years apart
you were my first love and you were
untrue and you didn’t even care
about how you ripped me
to pieces
only cared about your own selfish wants and needs,
and i may never be able to hate you but i do
hate that you couldn’t be a better man;
someone like you didn’t ever
deserve the nakedness of my heart, body, and soul
i was a price that you’d never be able to
afford.
