I hate that I love you

I am plagued by you

I hate that I crave your words

Even though they come from wicked fangs

I am your burden

I am your punishment

I am your reminder that sometimes…

Things do get worse.

I am what you think you deserve

Your self deprecating choices

I hate that my heart is bound to yours

It’s unfair

I have been someone’s punishment since birth

And that is my punishment
