A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

raw nerve ending

"
It's just easier to hate you
It's probably me just as much as it is you
But in order for it to not completely annihilate me
This is what I have to do
It doesn't matter how much we love each other
Or how it will never feel this way again
What matters is that I make it through this
You pulled the rug out from under us
You burned our bridge
And now all I can do is survive
Cause that's what I have always done
When the chips are down

I'll never see that pretty face again
Or feel that body pressed close to mine
I'll dig every single root that I planted in and around you
And I'll cut off everything that bears your name
I cannot be your friend
I'll just hurt and torment you
I will complicate your life
And toy with you emotions
So it's just easier for me to go
A self imposed exile
And only think of you on bad days
When I really want to hurt myself
So I hate you now
Cause hate keeps the sadness out
I would rather be angry all my life
Then be sad for a minute longer
I am never coming back up
For air
