All I Can Do

I don't know how to do anything but love you

 

I try hating you but I can't keep it up for more than a few seconds

I try being angry, but that only lasts until I see you smile

I try forgetting, distracting myself

I try to not care

 

I tell myself I can live without you, that I can find someone else

and that I could also live by bread alone

but I wouldn't want to

and neither would anyone else

 

This is the cause of my frustration, anger, depression, heartache, fury

and sometimes joy.

I wish I could hate you, but all I can do is love you...

damn it.

 

Author's Note

I don't claim to be any good at poetry. It just helps me gets my emotions down on paper.

Fantastic job on this poem, and that's one of the perks to writing poetry, you can vent. Nice write.
