KEPT
By Lethie
There is no life within these walls,
All you feel is the echo,
Of the life before the pass calling to the future,
Broken window pains seem to be open eyes watching the world
pass By
It is no longer a home
as if the self you where has been smothered
You are like this house still ringing and healing from the pass
ignored
By those who call themselves your friends
You become darker rotting from the inside out releasing
Only false smiles and fake laughs
But then comes along a simple glimmer a small show of hope
In the shape of a handsome man you become obsessed
breathing in his hateful glances
Devouring his bitter words you hate him and he hates you
But he does not know that his hate keeps you alive
And every angry touch excites you
He hates and you hate him
He is to you and your broken house
As the innocent creature who takes residents, a termite that
destroys the house from Within
And yet the house is satisfied to not be alone
In the end
You hunger for his hands to squeeze harder around your neck till
Your lifeless you spit angry words hoping he will do it
Do it, do it you chant over and over in your head until
Finally he to catches on to the look of total happiness and
acceptance at your own death
He backs away quickly the termite has caught on his eyes
Devouring your inside emotions
No , No, he can not know how much you hate him
Yes, you use those words yet if some one listens closely
every time they hear your mouth scream those words your
Eyes scream I love you
I love you so much
That I gladly accept your hate and anger and sadness
Let it all be directed at me and like the termite to the house
destroy me from within
And never find out how much I care.
He has found out he stares at you with shock
he is disgusted at himself for not seeing it before
For not seeing
You beg him for death
instead you now sit in a cell
A dark room far from life below
he says you are his secret
His favorite 'hate' you are his and never you own
The termite instead of destroying the house now owns it
You are his dark dirty broken secret.
Scarred only be him
Hated only by him
Kept only by him
And loved only by him

This work was quite expressive. I can relate well to the whole love hate concept. Good work
