I love you, I hate you. You broke me, you saved me. Completely original, full of clichés. You knew me completely, as I knew you. A stranger to me, as I am to you. Predictably unpredictable. Disgusting but endearing. This is the end, this is the beginning, of everything we are. And everything we’re not.
october 2009, creative writing assignment. i turned this in as an elegy, because i meant is as goodbye, a funeral of sorts. it fits, loosely. this poem was hard for me simply because i dislike being honest with myself, my pen, and my paper.
