Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?
The hatred deep inside?
Despisity this obscene
Is something hard to hide.
I know you feel it in my stare
And that you are afraid.
But everything i feel for you
Is something you have made.
I tried to show forgiveness
But you spit it in my face.
Every time you prove me wrong
You're a disappointing discrase.
Now all i want from anyone
Is freedom from your grasp
I can't wait until the day
I put you in the past.
