I love you.
You heal me.
You are the sun that wakes me,
You are the voice that comforts me,
You are the best person ever!
I hate you.
You hurt me.
You are the hand that hit me,
You are the voice that frightens me,
You are the worst person ever!
I love you.
You are a shoulder to cry on,
You are the hug I need,
You're okay, I guess...
I hate you.
You are the reason I cry!
You are the one that hurts me,
I'm afraid to be around you.
I miss you.
I miss the person you used to be,
before the pain,
before the tears,
before you hurt me.

Okay, so- hurt ("you hurt me") is supposed to be past tense, but heal is supposed to be present tense.
I wrote the first stanza from the perspective of my younger self, and then it kind of alternates between younger me and present time me.
This was actually the poem I used to get onto this site... I love this poem, it was the second real poem I wrote and it is probably my favourite.
