Dearest Friend (Hate Hate Love Love)

The darkest thing I've written so far,another improvised piece. A warped take on a love-hate relationship.

Dearest friend of mine

Oh dearest friend of mine

Remember that one time

You fell asleep in my embrace

The moon was big and full

And I saw your smiling face

Now I'm going to snap if you say "I love you" again

Now why don't you drop that stupid little grin?

You're always saying that I never understand

Why don't you say that to the back of my hand?

I'm sorry that I've been this way

I regret that I have gone astray

Deep down inside, I'm sensitive and good

Really, I only want to be understood

You were once my only friend

It hurt both of us in the end

You're always saying that love rings true

Then you turn around and make me lie to you

Dearest Friend of mine

Oh Dearest friend of mine

I really liked the twist to this. It was real good. Great write! Thanks for submitting it to the group.

Nice. You captured the idea that love and hate are like the two sides of a coin, one cannot exist without the other. You will never "hate" someone you never loved, never knew. Your poem truly expresses the dichotomy.
