You broke my ribs And bruised my lungs When you left without warning I hated you for burying me Under the weight of your problems While shaping mine into small white pills And turning a blind eye when I choked I spent a year alone Because hate has a radius No one can withstand Or bear to be around for too long And I could not lift it off my chest I did my best to let go of the anger Blisters scarred my trekking feet I hated you for burying me I could not see the poison of my ways Until I hated you so much that I hated me

Hate is heavy
You broke my ribs And bruised my lungs When you left without warning I hated you for burying me Under the weight of your problems While shaping mine into small white pills And turning a blind eye when I choked I spent a year alone Because hate has a radius No one can withstand Or bear to be around for too long And I could not lift it off my chest I did my best to let go of the anger Blisters scarred my trekking feet I hated you for burying me I could not see the poison of my ways Until I hated you so much that I hated me
