is hate a euphemism of love?
you said you loved me when leaves fell,
then you expressed your hatred when flowers bloomed.
because if hate isn't a euphemism of love,
why did you promise to love me in the beginning,
only to break my heart seconds after.

hate is a euphemism of love,
because when i loved you,
i felt bursts of emotions and nothing at all.
similarly when i hated you,
i felt bursts of emotions and nothing at all.

but this time,
the third element was present.
i wanted death quicker than i thought.
