Borderline

I love you.

I hate you.

Leave.

Please don't go.

I am black.

I am white.

I am unbearable hunger

And excruciating fullness.

I am good and evil.

And in my mind, so are you.

Forever one or the other.

I walk the fence between happiness and self hatred.

Between life and death.

I love you.

I hate you.

Leave.

Please don't go.
