Underachieving Poems

My Creature

Hate was once that filled me,

I thought it was to be.

I thought it was my only friend,

My only true, until the end.

One day, it seemed to have changed,

I felt somehow so deranged,

Met someone who'd have understood,

And I believed this creature could.

Indeed though it was the best,

This tender tug felt in my chest.

My heartbeat was going faster,

For once, my world was going brighter.

A year with this loving creature,

My life has truly gone quite sweeter.

The anger here was not once noticed,

And to this creature, I was focused.

Then we met our separate ways,

My world became a darker place.

It simply promised to be back,

And I was lonely, back to black.

My heart felt empty just a bit,

Thought about It, wouldn't quit.

We met again, but things weren't nice,

I was bitter, I was ice.

I felt hatred bubbling in.

This time's different, never been.

Oh, I felt it and it was stronger,

I suffered greatly, so much longer.

The creature seemed to have given up,

My life again was in the rough.

The feeling seemed to overcome,

The anger here, and I was done.

A thin line between love and hate,

A concept realized once its late.

I thought it weird, a curse so true,

But then my mind went back to you.

I saw myself, I am now bound,

To you, my creature that I've found.

Still I wait, my heart now bent,

Begging for hatred to fill again.

~~not my best... Probably my worst, but I'll live...
