i hate it when u get angry
i hate it when u lie
i hate it when ur cranky
i hate it when u sigh
i hate it when u don’t care
and make me feel sad
i hate it when you stare at me
and make me feel mad
i want u to care
even more than i do
i want u to show up
and stop me feeling blue
when i look at u i feel guilty
as if it’s all my fault
others feel pity
as i sit there and sulk
you had a choice
and you made it clear
you wanted her
and left us with a tear
sometimes i wish it could be different
sometimes i wish u stayed
sometimes i wish u tried harder
but instead our bond fades
you try to turn it on me
and say it’s me to blame
which makes me feel empathy
which is ur aim
i’m sick of giving you what you want
and the reactions you see
my trust is now locked
and i’m throwing away the key
i gave you chances
and there is no more
cos trying to talk to you
feels like an endless chore
i always get jealous
seeing people with their dad
wishing that could be me
but instead i’m left sad
maybe it’s for the best
maybe it’s not meant to be
but i won’t forgive u
for the hurt you still give me

Good poem. I tweaked the ending a little bit. Hope that’s okay.
