I hate that I love you


I love you.

I love you to hell and back.

You look at me with eyes that mean no harm.

I'd go to hell and back for you. 

You have me as your servant.

You play with me as your toy.

Your hazel eyes have an old soul in them.

Your raven black hair sticks out from the crowd.

Your white skin captures the attention of Angels.

Your voice is deep and soft.

I'm your yo-yo.

You drop me then pull me back up.

When you talk to me butterflies come alive.

Your smile is none like I've ever seen.

So sweet and meaningful.

I hate that I love you.

The things you tell me set my heart a blaze.

They mean everything and nothing at the same time.

You compliment me and kill me at the same time.

I am at your beck and call.

I am a peasant girl and you are the fair prince whom you took pity on me.

When I meet your eyes, 

My cheeks turn into the color of sleeping beauty's rose.

You try to push me to do better.

You push me away.

I slowly try to let you in.

I slowly begin to trust you.

I can never forget you.

You are able to with such ease.

When you talk to me, 

Your poison seeps into me.

I want to give you my all.

You want to give me nothing. 

I love you to the very edge of time.

I hate you when you forget the important things I tell you.

I hate that I love you.

I can never bring myself to hate you.
