Love and Hate

Love and Hate You say you love me , Yet, i hate the way your eyes say i am a disappointment. I hate the way your eyes say I don't love you as you are, for who you are. I hate the way I feel empty and worthless in your eyes. I hate the way I crave to be loved, I hate the way it masters me. I hate not being able to not care, not to harden my heart and make it cold as ice. Leave me alone and let me be. Love me as I am is all I ask of you. But that shall never be. Pity. I feel sorry for you, sorry that you cannot see past your judgmental garbage . Pity that it comes from those who should love you unconditionally. Too bad, so sad, time to move on. I don't need you.
