"why do you hate him?"

how could you gather up
all your freakin nerves
to ask me such a question
as i write my reply
tears dripping like honey
i just want you to know
that i love you to death
yes, you hurt my feelings
yes, you teared me down
yes, i choked on that pill
yes, you cheated and denied
but i'm the one who saw this
you moved on faster than
my brain could ever ponder
yet i'd still die for you
i have a secret crush on you
and there, i said it
my biggest fear even known
i couldn't tell my best friend
because she's also your friend
so i hubby does this answer
the question as to why i'm weird
the reason i stutter around you
the reason i act snappy
the reason i debate with you
but the main reason to all
is that you hurt me by loving her
when i adored your smile
from across the silent room

so, no i don't despise him
i'm only so bitter
because i couldn't stand it
being trapped in unrequited love
