they asked me why i liked you
and i wrote a paragraph
with heartfelt words and
secret thoughts written
for the world to see
and i lay here now
and my heart hurts
because i know those words
were wasted
so i have something else to say
i do not like you because
you have me wrapped around
your finger
and you know it
and you use that to
feed your ego
i do not like you because
you tease
and you taunt
and you haven't stopped to think
how much that hurts
i do not like you because
i know you like her
and you're afraid to admit it
because you're a coward
just like me
i do not like you because
i loved you
and in your mind i am
nothing more than a puzzle
you've yet to figure out
