Boiling white hot rage
Regret and guilt seeps in
Silent looks through open bedroom doors

How I hate you so.

Peanut butter and jelly apologies
Your favorite movies on CD
Fighting for the passenger seat

How I hate you so.

Racing for the favorite spoon
Sharing a sweet treat from mom
Stealing trinkets out of your room

How I hate you so.

Pushing your buttons until they break
Scaring off your school bullies
Blaming the broken coffee *** on you

How I hate you so.

Heartfelt gifts on your birthday
Beating you at every game
Moving out to start your life away

How I miss you so.
