shame
Why must you shame me?
According to you,
I'm stupid,
useless,
a $***.
Yet, I don't shame you?
How does that work?
How do you think
that makes me feel?
I bet it makes you feel...
Powerful,
graceful,
better about yourself,
that you broke my heart-
within 2 days.
You'll forever be in my heart,
but damn-
do I ever hate you.
