PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

These thoughts keep running through my head

I can't seem to get them out

Why do they cling to me like a baby to its mother?

Yet in a way that seems so much more vulgar.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you

Maybe if I say it enough times I'll believe it

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you-I love you

I'm too weak to hold this conviction

And I could never find a way to hate you

Because I love you, I love you, I love you

But that you'll never know.

Oh why can't you just love me like I do you?

Is it because you hate me, you hate me, you hate me?

Please don't say it's true

Don't hate me here, or now, or eve rin your life

Because I love you, I love you, I love you

I had no choice but to love you

For I knew I did that first moment I saw you

I loved you, I loved you, I loved you

I just didn't want to love you then

But I couldn't help myself from loving you then

For my heart was gone before I could take hold of it

It flew to your hands, but you dropped it

It scared you, so you dropped it

But do you hate me, hate me, hate me?

I couldn't pick my heart up off the floor

And it's still lying there at your feet

Screaming out loud to the wind that blows by

And hoping you'll pick it up for me

But you don't, you won't, why won't you pick it up?

Is it because you hate me, hate me, hate me?

No, don't hate me, not now, I love you

But the words you hear are different

Saying, "How are you, are you happy?"

Instead of I love you, I love you, I love you

Do you know how I feel about you?

I don't think so, anymore

I've hidden myself too well for you to know

Because I don't want to hurt you

And yet I still want to say-

I love you, I love you, I love you

And let it echo in the wind

As it blows over both you and me in the sun

But I can't hurt you anymore

So I just say it to you in my dreams-

I love you, I love you, I love you....
