Tangled Heartstrings
You, a shadow in my light,
An ache that haunts the depths of night.
Every word, a serrated k***e,
You dance between my hate and life.
Love's tender whispers d***n in spite,
Fires turn to ashes, lost in flight.
You pulled me close, then let me fall,
A cruel puppet’s show, I hear your call.
I hate the way you steal my breath,
A ghost that lingers, haunting death.
Yet in the silence, a flicker remains,
A tethered spark amidst the chains.
Each f***t, a w*r I can’t forget,
Battles waged with no regret,
Your laughter echoes like a song,
A bitter sweetness, where we belong.
Through the storm, I chose to stay,
But love’s a game where hearts betray.
Drawn to you like the moon to the tide,
In this twisted dance, our worlds collide.
I hate the way you know my soul,
A fractured heart that can't be whole.
Yet when the dawn breaks, and shadows flee,
I find a trace of you in me.
So I’ll scream into the void of night,
A prayer for peace, for wrongs made right.
With every pulse, this truth I see,
That hating you is loving me.
