Love/Hate

I am tired of being afraid

Shocked into silence by what people might say

Looking for demons around every corner

I'll stop being scared

Please just let me go

Get me out of my head

I don't want these memories

That can't be scrubbed away

No matter how hard I try

My skin still feels tainted

When I think of how you touched me

I don't even know what these feelings mean

But what this whole world doesn't understand

Is that my dignity is on a string

Hanging above my head

Taunting me into insanity

Why is it so wrong to care about the person who

Left an inky stain on my soul

Made me feel like I'd lost control

Why do I have to pass the blame

Tell everyone it was your fault

When it takes two to make things go wrong

Pretend my name isn't connected to yours by the word "slut"

That my head wasn't foggy and I was in control

That some sick part of me doesn't want more

I feel like I'm being pulled slowly apart

What do I do when I'm drawn to you

and no one's opinion is safe

Someone please help me understand

Is it wrong to love someone you hate?
