10 things I hate about you and more

I. I hate you for reaching out when age drew the line,

At seventeen, you messaged, I, fourteen, confined.

II. I hate you for the popularity you found,

Every girl in our school, in admiration bound.

III. I hate you for keeping the connection alive,

Though I was so young, and you, so much senior to thrive.

IV. I hate you for mocking the girls in my grade with disdain,

Exploiting them, like puppets in a bitter game.

V. I hate you for persistently reaching out,

Manipulating my innocence, without a doubt.

VI. I hate you for the comfort found in your embrace,

Yet, you sexualized it, a darkened space.

VII. I hate you for six years of constant thought,

In the silence of nights, your memory sought

VIII. I hate you for the absence of contact in years,

Driving by your old home, evoking old fears.

IX. I hate you for being with a woman so unlike me,

A bitter contrast, a twist of destiny.

X. I hate you for every tear that I've shed,

For the panic, the dreams, a tangled thread.

XI. I hate you for not knowing the pain I bear,

For being unaware of the burdens I wear.

XII. I hate you for invading my dreams at night,

In which we are together and where there is light.

XIII. I hate you for my heart that still beats for you,

Clinging to a love that time can't undo.

XIV. I hate you for being my first love, so true,

For the hope that one day, our story will continue

XV. I hate you for being a part of each thought,  

For not hating you, no matter what you wrought.
