LOVE TO HATE YOU
poem

LOVE TO HATE YOU

I hate the way you steal my peace,

Yet miss you when you're far away.

I hate the silence when you leave,

Yet wish you'd never go away.

I hate the words you never mean,

The careless things you sometimes do,

Yet somehow, in the quietest moments,

My heart still finds its way to you.

You are the storm I should avoid,

The fire I know will leave a scar.

Yet every time I run from you,

I find myself wondering where you are.

I hate the way you know my heart,

The way your eyes can make me weak.

I hate that I can read your silence,

And hear the words you never speak.

I hate the way you pull me close to your breath,

And push me back,

Then leave me questioning what we are.

I hate how every little memory

Still follows me from near and far.

Perhaps you're not the love I need,

Perhaps we're wrong in every way.

But if love and hate are enemies,

Why do I feel them both?

So I'll pretend that I don't care,

I'll tell myself that I am through.

But deep inside, beneath it all,

I still don't know what I should do.

I don't know if I truly hate you,

Or if I simply hate the truth:

That beneath all this anger,

I still love you more than I should.
