A Problem

I hate you
The smell on my hands doesn't leave me
It reminds me of so much

The mosquito protector spray kins me
With joy,
Regret.

The nights cold and bitter
my heart full of it

Joy & regret.

Like the one, we stood under
signaling a cloud or two

The smell of rain and summer mornings

crisp as the eyeliner lines I would draw
To impress you.

To advance the beauty that you so loved and cherished

I hate you

The reminiscent eyes of yours

The soft hair I once stroked

While both crying about our problems in the back of a car

Soundly going to sleep

Those smells haunted me for what seems like years,

but it's been months.

I hate you so much

So much hate that I still carry

Yet I look for you,

in the halls just for a glimpse into the past

but fear of wanting to go back,

and to remind myself of what a problem I have

The problem of hating you,
Loving you
at the
Exact same time.
