I love you when we slow dance in the kitchen 

Using the pale moonlight flooding through the window

To guide us

When you laugh so hard at my terrible jokes 

That tears fall from your eyes

I love the sugary pink things you say

But now I can’t help but notice

The crude green acid dripping from your lips

After every time you speak

You’re cold and bitter but somehow 

Warm and welcoming 

You only speak in lies but the lies are so very lovely 

That maybe...maybe it’s okay

What have you done to me?

You glamoured me from the world 

Made me blind to the truth

Turned the bad to good 

And never let me see it 

The love you fed me turned to poison

And the poison turned to an antidote 

And the antidote turned to…

Nothing...nothing at all

I love you

And I can’t bring myself to leave

Not when the memories of us 

Laughing and slow dancing lingers in my mind

And so I will adore you loudly

And hate you quietly 

I love you 

I hate you

I love you like I hate you
