i told u i loved u
but i also deeply hated u
two things can be opposing ideas but still be true
like the sun and the moon
in the same evening sky
but only one is illuminated at any given time
im always going to be here for u
whether u say it aloud, or under ur breath
they’re just hisses
though it may have been punches
but the bruises were just red kisses
it may have been screams
but they gave the air a crutch
perhaps it may have been slaps
but your hand in my face was the tenderest
of a touch
so when u fear that sometimes people are
too understanding
i understand.
or am i to believe
ure looking to deceive
i understand.
