I HATE YOU / I LOVE YOU

“I gave him everything, even what he didn’t ask for. You can’t forget the soul that reached into yours.”

---

Please dry my eyes,

silent my cries,

heal my broken heart,

ease my mind.

What is love? I don't know

because you're not here.

What is love?

Just a 4-letter word when you're not near.

Is it dark or are my eyes closed?

Is there any light at the end for us?

Us? us ... is still an 'us?'

Or do we simply exist in each other's minds?

Was I just one of the girls

or was I really different?

Too many things said, but was any of it true?

Real feelings don't disappear, so was it temporary subdue?

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!

I love you so much.

Why did you let me go?

Why did you leave?

Why did you love me?

Just to turn around and not see me.

Your love healed my shattered heart,

then you shattered my heart with your love.

I thought I knew who you were.

Turns out I don't know you at all.

A stranger.

I told a stranger I was in love with them,

he showed me that I shouldn't be.

Still ... I Love you! I love you! I'm in love with you!

He replied, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
