I hate that I still love you

I love how you took something that could be so simply said and made it exquisit its pure talent

Such a sad piece Sam....the flow and images are beautiful and capture the reader from the beginning....I love the repitition of the beginning line in each stanza....

"I hate that I still love you
Farewells swept away on a gush of wind
I've battled for too long, relinquishing the rope
It's too late I've taken a step back trying to forget
Though because of you, I'm stumbling for hope "

^Trying to hold on to something that is lost is sometimes the saddest of all....beautiful word choices.....a joy to read....Take care, Debbie

Thats a great poem, i love the title and how it really does make you think about these things and the question of why? but this is a great insight, to answer this very question. well done xox sam

Wonderful poem. Well done. Thank for sharing this poem with us..

I hate that I still love you
Playful teasing natures cutting so deep
Laughter drawing away common sense
Mocking with controlled deception
A mellow craving, once so intense

This part rips at my soul ... the (head games) people play not only poison our mind but break the heart also.

I love your title ... it grabbed my attention from the get go. And when hate & love are in the same sentence ... you know you're in for a heart- touching read!
And this one certainly didn't disappoint ...
Your pen as your heart .. has inked a very sad heart-touching read.
Well done!
