I want to hate you
I want to wish you misery and torment
So that your very soul shrieks in horror
I want to suffocate you the way you suffocate me in your madness
But i want to love you
And i want you to love me back
Hold me tight in the stillest of nights
Caress me gently and make me forget why i hate you
So why can’t you just love me?
