Hate me
hate me please
somehow someway
perhaps that would make some sense
of this Horror called life in souls receding

Hate me
with words
let them match
your actions and deeds
show me no pity I have no need

Hate me
convict me
I am guilty
as charged of caring believing
then loving you on and on and on

Hate me
don the executioners hood
hang me disembowel me already torn
to pieces release me from this screaming life
of pain which no numbness drives away

Hate me
Please
blame me
I did not lift the hand
nor depravity demand as living
Blame me anyway so you are insured my fault all

Hate me
so vehemntly spew poison
with the passion you said
you held for me with and the hope
we finally began to build our world upon

Hate me
only hate me
with every fiber and woven
thread that they might burst to
flame for my heart is already ashes

Hate me for that too
fot every mistake and caring
only hate me with all you are I know
behind the barbed wire few things are known

Only hate me so I may find a reason for this dying

Had to read this three times....to realize that if what you ask for should happen, at least then there would be a feeling, and a reason...

but don't ask me to do this, for I would fail you miserably...

I understand the emotion, I understand the need...I even understand the words this time. But this, I believe, is too much to ask of anyone or life. Black and white...rarely. Live with the shades of gray. Love ya, big brother. Kick it in.

Ahh shades of gray
the most beautiful
of scenes inspiring
self searching let it rain

But as one reads Kirgegaard
the reminder is over and over
presented defined as "Either, Or"
So we make our decisons set the dominoes
in motion and hope the pain will fade away

Thanks sunshine, and yout too Little Sis.

It would be so much easier to have the actual words out, then live in limbo.  Well done!

Hate like love, involves intense, dedicated attention. Such absolutism is rarely possible and I think most people probably prefer the murkiness of mixed emotion- it is safer and also doable. We all know how to calibrate feelings. But I can appreciate the desire for clarity and purity of emotion, even though it can be scary. Very well done.  Thank you!

Oh AT, this just struck home today like..........I can't believe it.  You write
of this so well, not only is it being put into the library, but I gotta print a copy just to carry with me and remind me........well done.  *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
