(Ai Kirai)

"Love Hate" It sounds like "Dai Kirai" which means, "Big Hate" but it's not.

"You're worthless;"

"a disgrace!"

She exclaims as her fist meets my face

"f**king kid!"

"useless eyesore!"

I'm pushed down to the floor.

 

 

She stops for a moment,

and looks into my eyes.

I look back at her

and can't help but cry.

 

 

I get up,

and I start to run

But where to go,

Where to hide?

I realize I've got no one

 

"You better not f**king run at all,"

I won't

"I'll smash your head against this wall"

Please don't

"You better not make any sound,"

I won't say a word

"or I'll beat you into the ground"

I promise I'll remain unheard

 

The night goes on

And with it comes the pain

The night is very long

And so little strength remains

 

 

Here I am, ready to give in

I'm back here on the floor

When all of a sudden I see him

Walking through the door

 

 

"What do you think you're doing?"

"You're hurting her, can't you see?"

"She deserves it and she knows it"
"She knows she has to clean"

 

 

"Just stop this, it's getting late,"

"You both should go to sleep"

"You're right, sleep sounds great,"

she says, while all I can do is weep.

 

 

I've calmed down when I hear her say

"My God what a disgraceful sight"

I look at her, I turn away...

 

 

I love you, mom, goodnight.

I really love the fourth stanza.

holy s**t dude, that made me kind of cry a little. This is pretty sad. And the worst thing is that it's true. OOH wow i love you.

no but really, this is a beautifully written poem on a tragic situation. I love the style..i love your evidence. Great job.

[Zach Poehlein]

I like your call and response setup. Maybe I have a vendetta against poetry that is too predictably rhythmic, but I think that there is alot more that you could have done here if you werent constrained by following a set pattern. Nice work.

Very moving and very raw. You have handled a difficult subject well and allow the reader to experience this reality.

Such pain I feel when I read this...sadly I am no stranger to the love hate of someone close to me. You did an excellent job through this...an emotional piece I couldn't help but like.

"Love Hate" so fitting a title. What an emotional write, rawness of feelings expressed even more by the use of quotations and mark throughs. Exceptional.
