How to Deal (The Villanelle)

I’ll say that I hate you
When I remember the past.
But you know it’s not true.

You never did see from my point of view.
Until the day that my thoughts surpass,
I’ll say that I hate you.

That “explaining” talk is past overdue.
I’ll forever call you the idiotic ass,
But you know it’s not true.

Why did you come to me to pursue
Something you knew wouldn’t last?
I’ll say that I hate you.

I should have known you were just sweeping through.
I’ll tell everyone how you liked to harass.
But you know it’s not true.

I know that I must accept the adieu.
And even in English class,
I’ll say that I hate you,
But you know it’s not true.
