I HATE YOU

I hate you like the fire hates the rain

I hate you like the whore hates the shame
I hate you like the priest hates the sin
I hate you like the snake hates its skin
I hate you like the teen-mom hates her child
I hate you like the smoker hates his milds
I hate you like the father hates his failure
I hate you like the inmate hates his jailor
I hate you like the woman hates her period
I hate you like the non-believer hates the sacred
I hate you like the forest hates the fire
I hate you like the rapist hates his desire
I hate you like the ocean hates the storm
I hate you like the child who hates to be born
I hate you like the hungry hate their lives
I hate you like the skin hates the knife
I hate you like the devil hates the above
I hate you like you hate love

EVEN WHEN

i feel lonely even when i'm in a crowd
i feel insecure even when i'm protected by guards
i see defeat even when i've three aces in my cards
i hear silence even when the music's loud

i feel neglected even when everyone shows me love
i see the words dying even when my mind is working
i feel being watched even when no one is lurking
i see vultures even when i feed the doves

i sense chills up my arm even when it's just a ladybug
i feel chained even when i am driving by myself
i hear cries even when a kid hums to herself
i feel detached even when i am in a group hug

i am jealous even when all your attention is towards me
i feel cold even when the fire is bright
i feel the weakness even when i am full of might
i am falling even when it's on the top i am meant to be

i see time slipping away even when i have reserved the hours
i feel unwanted even when my pets are fawning
i see darkness fall even when the sun is dawning
i see the world burning even when it's raining flowers
