Love Poetry: The many things i hate about you - a love poem.

by Amy
(Australia)

'I hate it when I see your happy,
I hate it when I know your sad.
I hate it when I feel like this,
this feeling makes me mad.

I hate the way you’re nice to me,
even more when you're nasty and mean.
I hate the way you look at me,
and the way that I am seen.

I hate the reasons that I'm afraid of,
of love and trust and tears.
I hate that you are everywhere,
in my thoughts and hopes and fears.

I hate that I'm not over you,
when indeed you're over me.
I hate the fact I still love you,
that I cannot let you be.

I hate it when my memory wants
to stop and reminisce,
to that last hug, or even yet,
our last and final kiss.

I hate thinking that you’ve moved on,
that someone’s in my place.
I hate it when we talk all day
or when you give me space.

I hate that I still need you,
as a friend and lover too.
I hate thinking that there’s no one else,
that will compare to you.

I hate thinking that it’s over,
that what we had is lost.
That this time all my insecurities,
have well and truly cost.

I hate waking up without you,
and knowing that this is a normality.
That in actual fact my dreams are dreams
and this is the reality.

I hate it when I see a picture,
even more when I hear your name.
I hate it when I think of you,
my thoughts drive me insane.

I hate knowing that I let you in,
and that you let me down.
I hate knowing that if I leave this house,
I could see you somewhere in town

But most of all I hate it
because there is nothing I can do,
to remove you from my memory,
and somehow get over you.'
