Have You Stopped Hating Me

The sun no longer burns me
The clouds hugged away the moon last night
The stars sang from behind the curtain
Have you stopped hating me?

The cuckoo returns to the garden
as flowers sway in the breeze
and the nightingale dances on my patio wall.
Have you stopped hating me?

The storms go unreported.
The torrents of rain disappear.
And in the still night, the wolf howls are not heard.
Have you stopped hating me?

There's no more horror in the waves of the sea
The earth no longer shakes
Even the graveyard dogs are silent
Have you stopped hating me?
