In Poetry.

Author's Note: Hiya. This is just another little self expression poem. Review if you like, but this piece is purely an emotional outlet. ;)

I Hate You

When I want to tell you how I feel,

You're afraid to listen.


When I want you to hold my hand,

You ball your fist instead.


When I want to tell you how amazing you are,

You list all of the reasons why you aren't.


I Hate it.

And I Hate you.

I Hate you because I Love you.

When I went into this I read that you were having an emotional outlet I rolled my eyes and thought 'yay more angst(!)'

Goodness I didn't expect to enjoy this. I like how misleading, in a way, your poem is. Hate really is a strong word.

I really feel for both sides of this poem. The poet (or you in this case I'm sure) just wants their loved one to know how special they are.

I feel for the loved one too. They seem to not understand how much the poet loves them. Speaking as a person who cannot take a compliment I think I feel mostly for the loved one. Perhaps they feel pressured that they don't deserve you in a sense and thus don't take compliments. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

All in all I really liked this poem. Mostly the last stanza:

I Hate it.

And I Hate you.

I Hate you because I Love you.

Haha thanks! I'm glad u liked it! :)
