Damn you! Damn you all to hell.
How many times must you abuse me?
While I faithfully, day after day, care for you.
Ever I give you what you need, keep you clean and dry.
Asking little in return, only that you abide with me in domestic peace.
Was it not I that found you out in the bitter cold, battered and bruised?
Tossed away with nowhere to go, but the worlds garbage pile.
Lovingly and tenderly I nursed you back to health,
giving you shelter from the caustic elements of the outside world.
Yet time and again you injure and bruise me viciously!
I cry out, but tears go spitefully unattended,
as you but sit there in your wooden contentment.
And yet night after night, as I only seek small comfort to assuage my terrible thirst,
you bring me to my knees, again and again.
As I lie wounded and bloody from your tortuous edges,
steadfastly you remain, unmoved and uncaring,
silent in your evil contempt for me.
No more. Hear you this, spawn of Satan!
No more I say, I send you back to the refuse pile to which you were heading.
Back to the destiny that I plucked you from, your fate is sealed.
Damn you.
Damn you all to Hell!
Stupid coffee table!

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
