I Hate Me

You let me love you

You really shouldn’t Babe
I am very insane
Just a typical crave

    I’ve made you my creature
    Keeper of your darkest secrets 
    Those unshaven hairs revealed

Looking down upon you
Your soft snore, sleeping
My delightful monkey

    You’re my sweet love
    You’re filled with me
    My DNA

I have pumped you full
Until you look like me
How can I leave you?

    If someone bothered you
    I would gladly kill them
    If a girl tempted me

I’d pretend to love her

I hate me

Janetta Harrington October 8, 2008 at 10:35 PM i love your poem. the way you arrange it and i see the suffering you are doing to just try to hate yourself. you either love some one or you don't. the clincher is that little life left behind with your dna. again, a beautiful piece. janetta

Lena Townsend June 14, 2008 at 10:52 PM Such strong emotion. You express well the torment of temptation and anger. I hope that you don't really hate you as we love your writing here at the soup. Your words here are dripping with the drama of a writers mind and the passion of a writers heart. Thank you for sharing. Smiles from Lena "Lolita"
