The bittersweet taste

Of your name in my mouth

Forms a toxic paste

In the back of my throat.

I never thought I could live

And hate

Someone all at once.

You’re like my white dove,

Carrying a message of pain.

These confusing feelings,

Why do they intertwine?

I hate you so much,

Yet I want you to be mine?

It makes no sense,

I’ve never felt so tense!

I can compare and contrast

These feelings of love and hate,

Sadly, I know they’ll last,

All I can do is wait.

I’ll wait until they fly away

To live another normal day,

Though I must say…

Even with my disdain,

My hatred,

My anger,

And my rage,

I want nothing more than

To call you my own.

There is a very thin line between love and hate,

Yet I landed right on it.
