Toxic Love

Despise my love, for I am a masochist,
Don't restrain on your hatred for me,
Instead abuse me with your words,
Because the love I possess, is not of your world.
My love is ambivalent, 
Although very apathetic,
So don't tell me you love me,
don't tell me you care.
Love is just a figment of our imagination
And being loved is my fear.
The pain gratifies me,
put scars on my soul.
Love me how you hate me,
hate me how I love you
Paint me with insults, 
But don't tell me that you love me.
