An open letter to the ex who wants to know if I hate him

No
You sunk your claws so deep that I look at myself and see you
So no I do not hate you
I hate that when I look at roses I think of you
I hate that your favorite color makes up 80% of my wardrobe and looks better on me than u
I hate not hearing your voice
I hate that if I did hear your voice every word would be like daggers in my heart
I hated having to block you
I hated deleting your pictures
But silently checking up on you hurts more than not knowing u
I hate the my favorite show was your favorite show so I can no longer watch that favorite show without wanting to discuss the details with you
I hate that I still pray for you every night
I hate the plans we made that’ll never happen
I hate losing my best friend
I hate needing you
I hate that I didn’t know I needed you till you were gone
I hate that I poured so much of myself into you and saved none for me
I hate that we loved the same music
I hate not being able to talk to you
I hate this shit
I really fucking hate this shit
I hate that you forced my hand
I hate that you pushed me away
I hate the fact that no one will make me feel how u made me feel
I hate that I still worry about you but now without resolve
I hate that I can’t tell you things anymore
I hate that you were my biggest fan
I hate losing another person
I hate the dreams about you that have turned to nightmares
I hate waking up crying
I hate crying myself to sleep
I hate crying during movies
I fucking hate crying
I hate that my mother was right about you
I hate that my brother was right about you
I hate that my friends were right about you
I hate that you are not who I thought you were
I hate that I think about you every day, still
I will always love you, your name is tattooed on my heart and anyone who will love me will see the mark you left
I do not hate you
But it sure would be easier if I did
