Birthday Wishes

I was going to write a poem About how much I hate you About how much I loathe you About how much anger and rage I feel when I think of you I was going to write a letter That was really a curse That was really a litany That was really a hope that all the hurt you cause All the hate you cause All the hypocrisy and crudity and meanness within you Would come back upon you a hundred fold Leaving you cold And alone And unloved And unworthy of love Then it occurred to me That what I really meant Was: I miss who I used to think you were.
