I hated you for a lifetime
Each time I heard of another arm around you.
I hated you a thousand times
Every time you said it won't happen again.
I hated you seventy-seven times
When you told me it meant nothing.
I had you for days
When you did not come home.
I hated you for hours
For every missed dinner.
I hated you all night
When you wouldn't take my calls.
Yet I loved you timelessly
For all of your empty words.
