Love and Hate

Lately I’ve been trying really hard to hate you

Playing every conversation again in my head

I rip out each caring word and “I love you’s”

Replacing them with heartache and angry screams instead

But late at night when I just can’t fall asleep

My heart rejects the image of you I want to see

Maybe you were damn perfect, so I’ll be counting sheep

Because maybe it’s not really you that I hate, it’s me
