I Just Don'T Understand It

And I know you didn't plan it it's so hard for us to understand it I love you, I hate you - I just don't understand it One moment we're feeling bliss- like we're on another planet you love me, you hate me...the story goes...we took our love for granted caught up in memories, now everything's pixelated everything spoken is debated everything valued has been faded what was token...has been broken you used to leave my heart smokin' - she flipped the tarot cards - now I'm hoping... instead of dealing with it...I'm coping you promised me everything would be copacetic ...but everything's gotten quite hectic we lost our way- I can admit...I detected it nevertheless...I didn't expect it the process...I can't respect it love...how you do love like that? from dormant to torment it didn't rain...it stormed "and don't you tell me days like this is the "norm" I used to think you were the bomb I used to think you were the title to my poem now I'm sitting here with my hands in my palms thinking you could care less cause everything you've done was careless I digress... I gave you your best can't believe my reward is this mess ...it was never a contest... but I thought we were each other's trophy ...and I know you didn't plan it it's so hard for us to understand it I love you, I hate you...I just don't understand it

Amazing; brutally sharp yet sharply beautiful. PS: I don't understand"it" either.
