I Said..

Despite the heart which is froze

Hatred runs fluidly

Like the water in shattered glass

Like the blood in broken bones

Like the flames in our homes    

This hatred

It speaks to me

Like drugs to an addict

 

*When it tells me to shoot

                                         I relapse and

                                       aim for the sky*

 

I said..

In spite of my own humility

Hatred runs deeply

Like the roots beneath the dirt

Like the pain beyond the hurt

Like this poem before your eyes

 

*I despise 

                Way too many lies

                And so little truth*  

 

I said..

I hate beautiful  

It cripples me deeply  

For you are my pity

My pain and their pleasure

 

*When I am high

                           I'll collapse and fall

                        Far from this place

                        Of rotten bliss*

 

I said..

Look at me        

Blood misrepresents me    

For I am cut differently

This pain isn't felt

Like the emptiness

Residing in your cup

It is felt

Like a toxic

Living inside the gut

Like these words

Traveling directly

Towards the stomach

 

I mean..

             Although this addiction kills me

           Hatred is also the remedy

          It is all I need to truly appreciate

          The little love I have left.
