I hate your eyes.
But it's not that murky excuse for green that I hate
It's their ability to stare in mine
Hold them so intensely
And pour Grade A lies so fluidly

I hate your laugh.
Like a teacher's sturdy nails against the blackboard
With a hint of base of course
To make up for the basics that define you as a man.
Maybe.

I hate your hair.
The eight-dollar bottle of that pharmacy chestnut brown
That now traps your natural beach blonde locks
I believe your haircut has been long overdue
But that would mean chopping off your wannabe Bieber shag.

I hate your teeth.
Who knew behind those pearly whites
Festered so much rage
When you would clench them together
Throwing one of your first-class hissy fits.

What [I] hate the most about you?
I don't even know
If you would be ab[L]e to comprehend the truth
That I'm about to sh[O]ot through your veins
If it could e[V]en sink through that thick skull
Lay[E]red with your various comics
And your classic John Ma[Y]er CD's
Y[O]u wo[U]ldn't even be able to grasp it.

So the question still stands.
I can't exactly put my finger on it.
But.

I'm pretty sure I just hate you.

What can I say? I guess I just hate it all.

It made me laugh to know this was directed to a man. yet in your poem you describe his tantrums, first class hissy fits. quote from your poem; "Throwing one of your first-class hissy fits."

oh and i agree with brightburningcampeador. maybe make the message longer and spread out the letters throughout. Or in the very last line, make it so that it is saying i hate you but the capitalized letters say i love you in the same sentence! but obviously you will have to add more than just i hate you so that it would work. just another idea!

this was very cool. You know the taylor swift cds where they capitalize the letters spelling out things? just wondering if that is where you got this idea. I like the letter thing and how there is a hidden message in what you are saying! Next time i would recommend you leave out the brackets and just capitalize. it would make it less distracting, but it would still be noticeable! great job on this. Sweet!

I love this! The beginning was so good, and I'm going to be honest, the brackets kind of ruined the flow for me, but otherwise I really loved it.
