A love full of hate

By estherbell

Why couldn't you just simply LOVE ME BACK?

Instead, you turned yourself into an ugly ball of hate,
rolling fast out my sight, marking the streets
with your everlasting absence.

I am fighting this absence by turning into a pseudonym
hiding on black pages,searching for your shadow.

I hate you for making me walk away in silence
and choose life.

And I hate myself for still dreaming of you,
even when I am held by someone else's pure love.

But most of all, I hate both of us
for not being strong enough to change
our destiny.

    a love full of hate... yet the hate never comes until the ends, or nears it. unfortunately sometimes it lingers. so in many ways, it is a hate full of love. well written.

    lost love. i felt anxious reading such sorrow and longing.(hiding on black pages,searching for your shadow). I think these words are possibly the most beautiful words i have heard. i loved it and hated it at the same time. i loved the dream like state i felt but hated how much it made my heart ache. truly impressed :-)
