Kevin Elmore Poet I do not know?

I Hate You

i use to believe you actually loved me
but after over five years
i realize you never did
all i have to remember you by is 
one birhtday card and a purplelava lamp
almost sixteen years of life
and that's the day that
still haunts my dreams
hearing a door slam shut
watching you drive away
not knowing it was forever
i hope you know how much i cried for you that day
going into fifth-grade was the worst
people talked about summer vacations
and days with their parents
how could i tell everyone you'd left
everything got worse from there
brithdays ands holidays forgotten
trying to act like i never cried
i hate you for leaving
every christmas without at least a card
a christmas night i spend crying
every birthday, every thanksgiving
without at least a phone call
is one spent crying in secret at night
i'll never let you know you hurt me
never let it show that i care
i hate you for doing this to me
