Poems of a recent break-up

I recently broke up with my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years, which may not be long to the oldies but is a substantial part of my 19 yr life. I asked the H2G2 community for help, and it is one of the wisest things I've done (admittedly I have never done many wise things.) I've had advice from a huge broad range of people, many who've been through much worse then me. One of these people is 'a girl called Ben' who recommended I read her poems from her 'situation'. I did, and was duly impressed, you can find her poetry here... "A Girl Called Ben".

Anyway, I was sitting depressed and bored in Uni,(my one day a week day-release) and this line, 'At Least I Wouldnt Hate You' started bouncing around my head, picking up words as it went. So I wrote a poem around it, but it wasnt right, and so I spent three hours chopping and changing and rewriting until it was right. And here is the finished result:

At Least Then I Wouldnt Hate You

In a way
(That's your saying,
You used to repeat it annoyingly
Now I would die to hear you speak it)

In a way,
I wish you were dead.
Yes, dead.

At least I wouldn't feel betrayed,
At least I wouldn't feel hate
Growing through my soul like a weed.

I would have a reason to live.
Avenge,
Revenge,
They would give more
Than the emptiness that I keep inside.

Can you guess how that feels?
To hate the you I love,
To love the you I hate,
To hate you,
You who held my dreams within.

In a way,
I wish you were dead, because
At least then I wouldn't hate you.

Here are my other two poems:
