Hatred

This one is about my aunt who hates my mom to death but pretends everything is alright when I'm around.
I hate that you pretend
everything's ok when I'm around
and the minute I'm not there
you back talk her

I hate that you always want to fight
over everything that's going on
and that your forgiving words
were never spoken

I hate when you say you love me
when you can't even say it to her
but the worst is that you can't
even respect her as a person

I hate the way I can't
hate you as much as I want to
because you're family
