Oh, How Much I Love You.

Feedback Please

oh how much i love you

it feels like a curse

every time i say it

it echoes back like a rehearsed verse

i say fuck it, “for the plot,”

but i’m still on the floor

picking petals off a dead rose

keeping score

“he loves me, he loves me not”

and maybe i’m not scared of love

maybe i’m scared it’s one sided

scared i’ll look foolish

open, exposed, blindsided

i hate you so much

but i love being near you

i hate how every word

i say about you is true

i picture a future i swear i don’t need

kids, growing old,

your kiss on my head

your hand where my doubts used to bleed

and maybe it’s not you that i hate

maybe it’s the way i fall

how i love like it’s fate

even when there’s nothing there at all

so maybe it isn’t you

maybe it’s what loving you makes me do

i don’t hate you

i hate that i love you
