A Waste of Time

12.

I spent a lot of time hating you.
More time than any one person
should dedicate to such
a pointless
pastime.

I'm not quite sure why
pointing out your flaws
makes for such a splendid
sport.

Just now before here
I was doing it again.
Calling you ridiculous
and lacking
sense.

Mocking your moments
and memories in the
making.

I sometimes stupidly long
for you
to think
that I am some sort of
genius.

When the smartest thing
I ever did
was leaving you
behind.
