My sly fox, you inspire me to write.

Oh, how I hate the way you deceived me,

Invading my mind through the day and night,

I always dreamed about what we could be.

Shall I compare you to a hot ember?

You were so clever and always so smart.

I still remember how you left me there,

Bleeding and dying from my broken heart.

How do I hate you? Let me count the ways.

I hate your personality and style.

I hate your cunning and deceitful gaze

My hate for you is longer than the nile.

Now I must away with a noxious heart,

Remember these fierce words whilst we're apart.

The backstory behind this poem is that I was watching an anime and one of the main characters broke the other main character’s heart. Next thing I knew the words just started to flow and it came together. Inspiration comes from strange places.
