You Hate Me

Why do you hate me as much as you do What harm or pain did I inflict upon you, And tell me why, about me you do lie Please, please give me a clue. When you needed help I was always there When you needed comfort I gave you care, I gave you all, so that you wouldn't fall And as one to God we said a prayer. I never lied or used or stole and I never did cheat And unlike your ex's upon you I never did beat, I did what I could, because I knew I should I always thought of you as caring and sweet. Of you I was never embarrassed or ashamed About you I always proudly proclaimed, But, when I was at your side, you always did hide Now by you I always get blamed. Whatever you ever you wanted I always did From you I never did runaway or hid, I always put you first, even before hunger or thirst Me loving and wanting you no man could forbid. Why now do you hate me so very much I remember when I was once your crutch, Whatever you wanted or needed, your words were heeded Now it is all none such. Randy L. McClave
