I Still Don't Like You

Writer: Armaan YusufArmaan Yusuf

That day was just wonderful, a near-perfect night in June

When we tied the knot and held hands under the full moon

Now we cry a lot and throw hands, making each other swoon

A day bright and sunny, secretly disguising years of monsoon


The first few months gave me false hopes for a monster

But then moods started shifting, almost thought I lost her

It began to unfurl, a prescription of unwanted torture

Narrating tales of regrets like a dying man’s concert


You’re always a victim; I’m always second-guessing myself

Mutual mistakes don’t exist; Only I’m responsible for ourselves

Twisting narratives, stories contorting onto themselves

Fucked up, ain’t it? How you’ve made my life a living hell


One such story of a day of her presumptuous ‘virtue’

‘You don’t like me’s, ‘don’t love me’s, as if I speak untrue

Acting as if my world revolves around to just hurt you

Water’s overbridge, I’m leaving, I just don’t love you


Let me go out now, hell, where are my keys?

Leave my hand, girl, or get kicked by my heels

These tears don’t matter now; I don’t even believe

Everything that I do for you to make you succeed


No good deed goes unpunished, no, not even me

Can get you out of the choices that you call misery

My dream life and dream wife crumbling in front of me

Thought I deserved the world, but you didn’t deserve me


Calling the cops, are we? Well, let them see first-hand

How a grown-ass woman is implicating her husband

With fake marks and fake bruises, stories unplanned

Tries to hit so much, her compliments are backhand


Wait, what was that? Did I hear sobbing?

Did you finally realise that you were toxic

Did you see your face in the mirror and got sick

Don’t even care, keep bawling till the clocks tick


This cycle repeats so much I almost call it a chorus

More addicting than any drug or pill I took before us

What’s crazy is you don't realise what actually tore us

I’ll end it for good with hearts heavier than tyrannosaurus
