Love Hater
To some, love is everything
To me it’s a 4 letter word
That symbolizes deception
Whenever it is heard
Weaponized against me
To act against my will
Even when you showed me different
I believed it still
When you told me that you loved me
I thought it to be true
But the way that you would treat me
That's not what love would do
I adjusted the lens on my seeing glass
Made aware of how I was did
I waged a war against love
That I’ve been fighting ever since
Ever since the battle begun
Things happened that can’t be undone
At times I put my guard down
When I think that war was won
The succubus comes back around
Bullet chambered in her gun
Barely missed her mark the last time
When she thought she had her one
Tempting as it is
Smiles on the faces of hers and his
What it was or what it is
Experience tells me isn’t it
It’s an act when you’re in public
Masking all the homely tears
I done seen it all before
Pickett fence marble floors
Those are only small rewards
For ducking dodging all the swords
You hate what you come to love
When it doesn’t reciprocate
You despise it and all it does
Cause how does one relate
I know the parasitic nature
A host would come to hate
When you realize your depletion
Your works lack of completion
Still feel hungry after eating
Is when you can see right through the demon
You can take it back to EDEN
I’m a hater of that kind of love
I rebuke that kind of treatment
