Could I Hate?

Could I hate you? 

And for how long?

They say to hate someone you had to love them

But I think they’re wrong

I mean hate is the opposite of love 

It just has its own twists and turns

Love is a fire but hate just burns

A slow rage 

An endless pit

All to whom it may concern

Always remember hate burns

It's not always a feeling in your heart 

But every bad thought you have to curve

The urge to kill you

Because you really had the nerve 

To invalidate the feelings you created

You just left them on the curb

To rot

Left abandoned

You kicked them to the side

All the unspoken words

But could I really hate you though

It’s strange 

Because I want to care 

But I don't 

I want to be there

But now I won't

I want the bond

But I refuse to rely on false hope

If I did hate you 

I think it would be from the disappointment you served

On a silver platter  

As if it was the best thing that could be served

Or maybe from the lies and betrayal

A path of deceit 

In a forest of confusion 

Lost in total illusion 

I think I did hate 

Now I’m finding the feeling and words 

To help erase you and the pain
