You Hate Me and I Love You

No, my brain is alive, not dead To know that you hate me And yet I love you dearly I practice love not hatred I care about uncontiditional love Not mutual feelings dripping from above In rainy and stormy seasons. In unselfish ways I willingly donate my heart and soul to you You can shred them and then part ways As you wish, as you see fit. I am a fool A martyr, a lover with all of his marbles and more I love you and I want you I care about you. Open the door So I can give you more until you’re saturated Until by love you are filled up and asphyxiated You hate me and I love you I wonder if I am not a fool.
