I Hate You, Not Really
Folder:
The Process Hate is not the opposite of love
But rather the intent to love gone wrong
You may think that by hating,
That you are withholding love,
But you are far, far from the truth...
To hate means that I,
I am still giving you my all
Each and every wicked piece of me
That loved you before the fall
These pieces that scream
"I hate you!"
Are shattered memories
turned to lies.
Why would I give so much attention to
Something that I despise?
The truth is that
It's just a lie,
a lie we tell ourselves.
To help us cope with what we lost;
Trick ourselves into thinking
That we are better off
If I did not love you,
I would never be able to hate you.
Instead I would just
leave
you
be
And never think of you again.
Messy breakups
This poem absolutely hit home for me. You are very right you know... Hate is not the opposite of love but more like a darker, more twisted form of love that we experience. We cannot have one without the other sometimes. I will check out your other poems too! If you want to see if we can relate... please feel free to check out my page as well. If you want the heartbreak stuff, check out my "reflections" folder and my "Madison" folder.
(Madison is how I refer to myself when writing occasionally, it's weird I Know because my name is not even close to it)

I will most definitely check out your writing! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Peace and Love,

When hate
Is stronger than love
You know then, that you've had enough
Two sided coin they are, love and hate. One cannot exist without the other to take its place. And then there's the precipice between the two, indifference. Which is much more insulting than hate ;)
Beautiful work. Reminds me why we try to forget. I bow to your talent, fellow wordsmith

I was alluding to the idea that resentment is the opposite of love, I'm so glad you get where I'm coming from...
And once again, thank you for your kind words about my writing. You flatter me so!
Peace and Love,

I simply
Speak the truth
If flattery is sensed, then flattery is due. :)

Hate is a strong word
Relationships are an Instigator
Of a lot of things.
There is a lot of Hate in the World.
I know that.
Is it all unfounded ?

You are a good poetess
To KS:
Hate only brings more hate, and this I know to be true. It can be tempting to give into the feeling of hatred, but in the end it only causes more pain.
Love is always the answer; this I believe.
Thank you for your sweet compliment.
Peace and Love,
Kaitlin
