Lover

I want to hate you

Yet somehow
You have bewitched me 
Even as you left
 
Still I cannot bring myself
To get rid of all the things 
You gave me
The ones that say you will 
'Always' love me
 
We have discovered that's a lie
And I have discovered
You lied often
 
I want to hate you
Because of the weight in my heart
That was your parting gift
Because of the pain
You threaded through me
 
Despite the pain
Despite the tears
That fall quicker than rain
 
I still love you
And you are still my love
Though someone else now
Gets to be your princess
