I hate watching you
being eaten up
by your past

I hate that you remind me
it was my fault
me first

I hate watching your heart
being ripped out
constantly

I hate that I can't help you
when all I want to do
is save you

From yourself
from her
from me

I hate that hurting her
takes precedent
hurting me

I hate that I broke you
that I can't pick up
the pieces

I hate that you resent me
you regret me
and us

I hate looking back in retrospect
framing all of my regrets
it was so easy
