because you are looking at them and you are wonder how you can both love and hate someone with everything you have,

                                                                   and you wonder why it feels like there's fire in your   
                                                                   chest when they look  into your eyes and you think
                                                                   that when they say eyes are the window to the soul     
                                                                                                    (and the heart
                                                                                                             and the mind
                                                                                                                    and blood in your goddamnveins)
                                                                   it really only counts when the blinds are closed

and you wonder how you can love someone so much that even when you would rather stick a pistol to their head and shot them down dead you can still pull them from the fire
all the while wonder if the blood on the wall is your or there’s                        (from the ocean                                                                                                                                                           from darkness
                                                                                                                                         from the edge)

and you’re looking at them and wondering why Icarus choose the sun and death when you wish you had the choice to fly to somewhere this love doesn’t claw at your head,

                                           (but at the same time oh god you understand because they are the sun
                                            so bright and so bold and even if you did have wings you wouldn’t
                                            be able to get away if you wanted to)

and scramble your brain until your choking battle storm of fire and rage vs ethereal aim

 and finally you’re looking at yourself wondering if you are lost broken sick wrong strange desperate for feeling this way because while the line between love and hate has always been thin it shouldn't be a thread that’s  ready to break.
