I Hate

Standing at the edge.

I am far too close.

I am surrounded by 
reality.

One mind thrashed by 
the end of time.

Yes, that will be mine.

I cannot debate.

I hate.

But it feels.

Never enough.

I hate.

Everything.

Myself, into the eye of I.

Tears crack my sad 
goodbyes.

In between death and 
being alive.

I vanish to die.

Break my brain.

I am toned and tainted.

Stake my heart.

Just to extort my pain.

Hear my screams.

Believe me when I say.

My blood flows freely.

In and out of my 
nightmares.

Where I shake in the 
shallows.

Where I have no 
shadow.

Where I refuse to 
dream.
