The hate you give


Your hate is what I feel deep inside. The love I once felt now gone like ashes in the sky. I got carried away with the feelings within, oh please have mercy on this body full of sin. Show me and give me who you once were, not who you've become. I've been shattered and broken all my life, I just need love. Oh please, oh please forgive me for what I have done. I don't want this, I don't need this, every night I lay in bed afraid to sleep thinking, how long can my sanity last? I get nightmares day and night, every time I close my eyes because of the hate you give. Give me love not hate, your pretty words of love give me life, only to be killed by your actions of hate. The hate you give is what makes me afraid to try and love, or to even live. I don't need hate to show you that I care, I only need love.
