Hate you?
I can’t
Though I’ve tried
I miss too much of you
The laughter
The joking
The smile meant just for me
Your memory won’t
Let me sleep
Visions of you assault my dreams
A haunting lullaby
Lingers in my mind
I never meant for things to end
The method in which they did
A time wrapped in madness
I never intended
For you to hate me
Hate who you became
While with me
You’re not gone from me
I know you wish to be
I’m baffled
By the quickness
In which I’m gone from you
No…
I don’t hate you
I can’t
Though I’ve tried
I was always horrible at breaking up... I consider myself fortunate that my wife sucked at it too.
ReplyDelete" A time wrapped in madness " Great powerful verses! So much love, the one that breaks your heart and cresses your soul at the same time! The love that stays with you always and forever... Beautiful poem
ReplyDeleteI have to admit this broke me down. Feel like you reached inside of my heart and yanked out all of my current emotions. Hating would make things so much easier, but there is not hate in me...but I'm not sure it's love anymore...
ReplyDeleteI love how the the first and last three lines are the same, yet they mean different things each time. This poem is wonderful. Thank you for putting it into the world.
ReplyDeletethis one hit home. love it
