Hate Me

Don’t hate me because

I said I would end all famine

And did not

Don’t hate me because

I said I would make love to you last night

And did not

Don’t hate me because

I said I would go to battle

And did not

Don’t hate me because

I said I would kiss you

And did not

Don’t hate me because

I said I would introduce myself

And did not

Don’t hate me because

I said I would not lie

And I did

Don’t hate me because

I said I would not get sick again

And I did

Don’t hate me because

I said I would not reach out or open

And I did

Hate me because

I do not know who you are

or what you want
