You Hate Me
I bought him clothes today.
shorts, socks, pants, shirt.
All the day to day things.
Nothing special.
I asked of him nicely
Take out the trash.
"You hate me!" he said
I fought people today
I got money
money to pay the rent.
To support him.
I asked of him nicely,
Take your dish out.
"You hate me!" he said
I did the laundry again
Mended his clothes.
I cooked his dinner, too.
Hot roast chicken.
I asked of him nicely.
Pick up your books.
"You hate me!" he said
I felt his head today
He's very hot.
I gave him aspirin.
Patted his arm.
I asked of him nicely.
"Do you hate me?"
"I love you," he said.
