Confused Hate For Love

I used to think that people
would yell out of love
Out of this deep darkness
that they were trying to breach
I used to think that shouting
Was showing love
I thought it was saying
"I love you" by
trying to remain in
this world, and not
succumbing to the chasm
of darkness
I thought that yelling
was okay to do,
because it was all
I knew


I was wrong.
