I've been living
in the shadow
    of you
never knowing of
the things people
speak fondly of

such fools

I was sheltered
by the tanquil rage
enlivened by the
embracing pain
mesmerized by
your addictive taste

and it was all lies

I've been living
in the shadow
   of you
       Hate.

-Trina.

Time to step out of the shade and into the warmth of the sun. You write a powerful, but unsettling, piece.

Unsettling as mentioned but a piece that leaves a strong impression.

Definitely not the way to live for anyone~~
hate accomplishes nothing.

Nicely expressed.

Nakd- I agree. Thanx

Nature- It is a fine line, I've often wondered if theres a gray area between love and hate....perhaps dislike? Thanx.
