Love and Hate

Love and Hate

You say you love me ,

Yet, i hate the way your eyes say i am a disappointment.

I hate the way your eyes say I don't love you as you are, for who you are.

I hate the way I feel empty and worthless in your eyes.

I hate the way I crave to be loved, I hate the way it masters me.

I hate not being able to not care, not to harden my heart and make it cold as ice.

Leave me alone and let me be.

Love me as I am is all I ask of you.

But that shall never be.

Pity.

I feel sorry for you, sorry that you cannot see past your judgmental garbage .

Pity that it comes from those who should love you unconditionally. 

Too bad, so sad, time to move on.  I don't need you.
