HYPOCRITE (Having You Pull On Crimson Ruins Is Turning Epithetic

by Ixora   Feb 1, 2006


So many years have passed, too many words said without a sound
Glances thrown and buried away and another 100 problems found
Tell me ‘Happy Birthday. You’re alive for another year but
Don’t worry I’ll try harder; my hate for you is too well sincere…
For me to give up now when I have gotten so far
When I’ve healed every wound I had by the cause I gave to each scar
My pain is yours now what a gift it is to see
Be grateful or be dead- no need to speak, mercy me.’
And aren’t I ever the optimist seeing the good in you that was never there
Constantly bountiful on my excuses that one day you’ll learn to care
Your smirk says what a fool I am to have given you my heart and let you get to my head
Letting you conquer me, oh merry tyrant what is it that you said?
What is it that you gave to me, dear hypocrite?
With no shame, what have you made me commit?
Screams of lies and ‘I hate you’s” the steps of the ladder we climb
“I know you do but to hate me…you must have loved me at a time.”
“Its true you know.” you’ll say…glowing at the signs of your tearing me apart
“I know I hurt you, I never wanted to, but I was able because I’m still in your heart.”
‘I despise you’ I’ll whisper- hushed weakly as love clogs my eyes
It’s so damn hard to fake hate when you still believe the lies
Wrapping my pride against me, the strength I have for which you crave, I say
‘Don’t let this go to your head. I may be a fool but I’m the only one who can drive you to your grave.
If I’m just bad news at least I know that your heart loves me
If I’m just another regret at least I’ve hurt you too, to some degree
“My only love sprung from my only hate.” It’s the hardest part that hurts for me to say is true
Because I know that like Juliet, I would still give up my life for you…
And like Romeo you’d die for me, because I lure you like you do me
It’s an eccentric relationship we share, a love filled with hypocrisy
We fight and say these words of hate, but it’s always our eyes that betray
The words we try to hide and the feelings we try to kill, that we know won’t ever go away…

    I loved your other poems...as I have told you. This poem, however, I think, is the best one you have written and anyone else for that matter. I'm am holding back so many tears. Not many people's poems make me cry. My favorite lines and the ones that made me feel like I had knives going through my heart are:
    “I know you do but to hate me…you must have loved me at a time.”
    “Its true you know.” you’ll say…glowing at the signs of your tearing me apart
    “I know I hurt you, I never wanted to, but I was able because I’m still in your heart.”
    ‘I despise you’ I’ll whisper- hushed weakly as love clogs my eyes
    It’s so damn hard to fake hate when you still believe the lies

    Especially the last one...it hit home so hard for me. Keep writing...I love reading what you have to say. And thank you very much for your comment and time. My poetry does mean more to me than my actual life.
