If I can’t hate you,
Then how can I keep loving you?
I can’t just be the fool again,
Loving someone who doesn’t
Know what my soul knows;
Feels what my heart feels
If I can’t hate you,
Then did I really love you?
Did your words really break me?
Did they rewire me?
Am I really as fragile
As I make myself seem?
If I can’t hate you,
Am I really feeling anything?
Was it all worth it?
Is this really what I sacrificed for;
Did I sit and wait for nothing?
Was this all just for show!?
