I hate you
I love you,
I hate that I love you
I want to destroy you.
You are my greatest fear,
My greatest strength,
And greatest love.
You have made me who I am, defined me
Yet the slightest thought of going back to you makes me run ever further away.
I cannot handle your despair,
Your hurt and pain
And I must take care of myself.
I cannot help but love you though
Despite all of the pain you put me through:
When you made me think I had lost all my friends
When you gave me scars
When you gave me self-loathing, hatred and misery
You made me cry, when nothing makes me cry.
You brought me so low that I nearly died,
I cannot help but love you though
You defined me,
I strive every day to be better than you
And to be happy in spite of you.
Through all of your emptiness, I came out stronger
I know myself better
I am a better person because of you and because I do not want anybody else to know you
You are a malicious disease that hunts in the shadows for your next victim and I will not let you be successful, not with me and not at all
You are my depression, and I will see you fall
