“Hatred”


Please Lisa ?????, tell me why do you hate me?
What did I do wrong to make this hatred be?
I’ll do anything it takes to forgive me.
Please forgive my past and help me with my plea.

When you look at me, you give me not good looks.
Me being who I am is just all that it took.
I love you Lisa.  To see you mad at me
hurts me very bad, but that you cannot see.

How can I tell Lisa that I care for her
when she hates me? It might make her angrier.
I know at homecoming I got her angry.
But does she hold grudges, can she still hate me?

She means my life to me. Lisa musn’t know,
because she might hate me.  My love musn’t show.
I know that one phone call I got her angry.
But does she not forgive, can she still hate me?

Two mistakes means my life.  Will I live or die?
What will the answer be when Lisa replies?
If the answer is yes, my life will go on.
If the answer is no, death will be upon.
When will the time be right to ask Lisa out?
What if the hatred is?  Time is almost out.
If I wait too long, Lisa might find someone.
If that fate does happen, nothing can be done.
When the time is perfect, I’ll ask the question.
She’ll give me the answer after it’s mentioned.
After that, then what will happen?...
