Is Hate Love?

Life
it passes me by
Day by day
Each day is a blur

As each day passes
and I become less of what I was
I can't see myself anymore
I've become a scribble

A doodle on a notepad
I don't mean anything
It's just something you do
To pass the time

I can't recognize what I used to be
So secure, so full of myself
Telling men that they're missing out on something
Because I wouldn't choose them
And they believed it

How I used to be so secure
I used to look in the mirror
And say you're one sexy "thang"
No one can touch you

Look at you
You're beautiful
Who wouldn't want to be with you
And they believed it

But I don't believe it anymore
And now I am so hung up
On what you're doing
Wondering if you're happy
I convince myself you are
And wonder why I'm not

I accuse, I blame, I hate
I blame you
I blame others
I don't blame myself
I'm the victim

I am such a victim
I have convinced myself that I need sympathy
From you, from everyone
Why don't you ask about me?

Aren't you just a little curious?
Don't you wonder?
How can you be so smug?
Why are you so heartless?

I can't understand why
Why you would be so callous
So apathetic when it comes to me
General curiosity killed the cat
Why can't it touch you?

You stopped by my friend's house
To tell her you're moving
With your new girlfriend with you
And then you asked how the dog was
How the dog was?!
Why can't you at leat ask about me?
How is she doing?
Is she happy?
No.
Instead you ask about the dog
Because I am lower than that
And I can't be mentioned
My name is condemned
No consideration for me
Or my feelings

I hate you
I hate you so much
I hate how I feel when I think of you
Then when I think of how much I hate you
And how I wish the worst on you
Then I actually realize
how much I hate the way
I don't hate you at all
