What I also want

I never really
tasted hate,
until you
cheapshotted
me with it.
I never really
wanted revenge,
until you
inspired
me with it.
And now,
they tell me,
to thank you
for it;
for teaching me
these lessons,
hard as they are
to learn.
And I do thank you.
I thank you very much.
But I also
want to slap
you in the face,
and I also
want you to
listen to me cry,
3 hours straight,
and I also
want to slug
you in the mouth,
pop you in the eye,
pummel you,
rage at you,
and I also
want you to
fight back,
shake me,
hard,
look me in the eye,
direct,
hold me close,
squeeze me tight,
and then,
say goodbye.
