I hate you
Like the smell of crystal
When I can't afford it.
Like the smell of ethanol
When I am pregnant.
I hate you
Like the sound a coin
Makes against the ground
When I can't toss one.
Like the taste of regrets
Diluted in vinegar
When I am hungover.
And I hang around
Just to mess about.

When will the world end
And you abduct my mind
Must it leave a crack open.
Water creeping under the door,
Light creeping over the wall,
You creep onto my skin
Toe to skull, hair to bone.
When will the world end
And the socket of my eyes
Hurts to see you,

Just to tell you
I hate you.
