I hate you

I wish to tear you away from me

This tumor that clings to my chest

The thing that makes me ache

That haunts my dreams

And tears at my desires

You have brought me only pain

My untamed heart

That beast that gnaws at my soul

That pitifully whines

Bringing my mind into unwanted pain

Yet how can I blame you

How can I chastise you when I listen intently to your pleas

Why should I punish you for what my eyes feed upon

How can I blame my eyes for falling upon her

She who brings light to the eternal darkness of my soul

She whose eyes bring me to subjection

Whose smile leaves me in awe

How can I blame you when my ears are met with her laughter

How they submerge into her song

How they quiver at her voice

Why should I punish you for inclining my soul

Tempting it with the one sense that has been forsaken by her

How could I look over the thought of the brushing of lips

The touching of hands

The binding of the soul, mind, and body

O you wretched heart
