I hate you.

Why must you love who you do,
Tormenting me cruelly by loving
Someone forever out of my reach?

You take what I love
And fling it mercilessly away,
Your musical, eternal venom ensuring it will never return.

Yet you are the only one I can always turn to in my despair.
Because you try to drown me,
I desperately need you to keep myself afloat.

Broken, I come to you in tears
And you hold me tightly, tenderly,
Smiling chillingly over my head.

Just when I think my tears will evaporate,
You whisper sweetly, evilly in my ear
What I had been trying to forget all along.

Viciously, you tell me I will never be happy,
And I believe you helplessly-
I am not worthy of love.

How I hate you,
But I need you to make me strong
Each time you break me.

I find it impossible to live and love
As long as you are with me.
And yet-

I can’t live without you,
Because I am you,
And you are me.
