i don't hate you

i don't hate you,
but i want to.
i don't hate you,
after all you put me through.

my memory, 
like a picture frame.
the only time,
i can see your face.

your skin on mine,
between the sheets.
you've turned this in-
-to a sacred place. 

you took my soul,
when you left me.
after promising,
you'd never walk away.

but here i am,
with all the scars.
nothing left,
but a broken heart.

i don't hate you,
but i want to.
no, i don't hate you,
after all you put me through.

i don't hate you,
but i probably should,
just know that i don't hate you,
but i would if i could...
