There aren't enough hours in the day to tell you of all the ways that I hate you and love you. All in the same breath. This maelstrom of emotion is grinding my soul away. Sloughing off microscopic bits of myself with every phrase; every word out of your mouth. I feel a tide as strong as the pull of the moon, Always bringing me back to you Never going far enough away to break this link The world isn't far enough away How much more must I give up? My WHOLE essence? Or just some of it? Do I stay and love you without my dreams? Or do I leave and dream, But never love you again? Until the questions are answered My soul is wearing down. Wearing thin from the grind of everyday life This constant need to always have a smile on my face When all I wish for is the dark. To cry away all my sorrows The tears won't wash them away. There aren't enough tears in all the world to cry away the loss The loss of a dream, Or the loss of a love. I love you and hate you. All in the same breath.
