It's harder not hating you than it looks,
I make it seem easy, I smile and laugh
but it's with a little madness, I promise,
a little sadness, I promise,
the anger isn't something that you can touch or taste,
it's wasted on the empty space,
this black cavity that you left inside of me,
in spite of me I still want you back,
or maybe I want the life we shared.
You didn't just take yourself out of my equation,
you took my equation out of me, and left me deliberately
without a place in the universe,
without a path to follow,
and the frusteration that comes with never knowing for sure
the answer to the basic question. Why?
I'm sure that you're happy now, or you tell yourself that.
I'm sure that you wish I would move on, it might make it easier on you.
I'm not so sure that I can. You won't tell me how.
Reality sucks way more than fiction.

I think this is very good, the flow seems a little choppy, i think this may be because of the length of the lines, maybe to take out a few of the filler words and give it a bit more punch.. I can feel the passion, the heartache, but it isn't that strong.. Although I am sure it is strong enough for you, stay strong, things will get better
hugs Linda
