ignoring who i am is almost worst than hating who i am
i laid bare before you, heart slipped on the hardwood floor
you became blind
i screamed vows in your ear, words scattered on the couch
you became deaf
i beggingly shook your shoulders, history spilled on the bed
you became paralyzed
you prayed
i sinned
this was not a choice
please respond
just please
please
...please
i’d rather have you hate me
