Rate of Decay

How can I hate you

When my heart loved only you

How can I care for you

When always it's me you insult



Loved you did I

In what I thought to be real

But found to be deceit and loss

With out a known reason



I don't understand this hate

I don't understand this pain

I don't understand you anymore

The one who I thought to know everything



All I want is a reason

All I need are words of yours

Words from you to explain all this

And make everything start a new



How can I hate you

When it was you who told me

"It's just the way you are"

How can I hate you?



But still how can I care for you

When you defile me at every moment

And find reason to bring me real pain

How can I care for you?



To myself I must be true

But in my heart

I deny myself the right

I view myself not worthy



Not worthy because somehow

Somehow I have wronged you

Wronged you so you hate me

And dismiss me as nothing but a mistake



One reason is all I want

One reason to explain your hatred

Please tell me what I have done

Just tell me and be gone



Tell me so my life can go on

So I can rise above the water

Rise above what I am drowning in

Drowing in your hate



Drowing in my feelings for you

Tell me please and tell me soon

Before my tombstone

Becomes forever marked by you
