 Why should I care what happens to you? Why should your opinion of me
matter one slight little bit? I'm not perfect. I know that. I hate that
you make me feel less than good enough. I hate that within your
holier-than-thou attitude I can't stop you from making a mistake. I hate
that helping you makes me look stupid, feel stupid. 

 I hate that you expect too much of me and never give me any credit. I
hate that you never admit that you made a mistake. I hate cleaning up
after the mess you created. I hate that there's nothing there now. 

 I don't want you to go to jail. I hate that I care what happens to you
now. 

 It shocked the hell out of me, you know? You aren't anyone I know
anymore. You're someone else entirely. Who's real and who's the disguise?
How can I protect myself without knowing what's going on? 

 Hell, I hate that I'm thinking about protecting myself when I shouldn't
even have let you put me on the line. It's a thin line between love and
hate.
