Rather Hate You Than Love You

I would rather hate you than love you
Because there are some things that I can’t go through
I would rather hate you than love you
Because I know I can’t stand it if you turn up not being you

I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of spending days and nights crying over you
I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of wondering where you are and what you do

I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of thinking if you feel the same about me as I about you
I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of questioning you and whether your love is true

I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of seeing you smile for another as if I meant nothing to you
I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of making plans for an Us without a U

I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of torturing myself for feeling the way that I do
I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of counting the days until I again see you

I would rather hate you than love you
Instead of hating every woman because they cannot be you
I would rather hate you than love you
If I could have anyone but could not have you

This if very good. This is a good piece. It ties into an audience that remain unspoken, but continue to feel that way. Thank you for that poem. Its brilliant and original.

Great work D.... Lots of emotion in there, I guess everyone feels that way at one time or another...
