Lovely Hatred ✩

Love and hate are two similar things

What is said of one can be said of the other, either, or

When I hate with a fiery passion, all I can do is think in their fashion

When I’m in love it seems much the same,

I think of him daily, 

Oh! How it hurts my brain!

When I hate, all I do is wish they could see, see the truth

When I’m in love...if only you knew!

All I have in my heart for...

Dearest one, this is how I see you,

I love you, I hate you, I’m very confused.

I hate the way you say my name, I hate the way you smile,

As if you know everything, can a man really be so vile?

But when you say my name so sweetly,

And look at me the way you do 

-goodness me, how scandalous!-

I can’t help my heart from aching, from longing for you.

I hate you, please just leave me alone.

I love you, hold me close, never let me go.
