I hate you
You were draped over my couch
In my house
Watching my TV
It’s so easy for you to own everything
But act above it all
For when it comes down to it
You won’t be the one to fall
You take my advice
You occupy my life
You demand the qualities of a wife
You can never do wrong in their eyes
You ask and ask
You push and push
You treat me fondly if theres a means to an end
You never cared for my needs
And when I watch my life reach it’s bend
And the trail curves and I’m stumbling
Stumbling into something richer
Something finer than this old asphalt
You will still be there
In my house
Watching my TV
Owning everything
Except that will mean nothing
And you will mean nothing
You will have nothing except your painful mediocrity
The only living thing to watch you breathe
The only thing you never seemed to see
The only thing that cares if you rise from sleep
The only thing different from your family
Is me
I won’t be there, though
I’ll try not to, at least
I don’t want to watch you seethe as you take what you need
I just wanted to be there for you
I just wanted to be like your family
I’ll see myself out now
But not before I take one thing you own
Not before I can say one thing
I hate you.
