Hate Teases And Love Eases Poem by Brianna Stuckey

I hate the way you know me.
The way you look at me, full of passion and love.
When you flash one of those rare smiles, I curse the heavens above.
I hate how you act so sweet, but to the rest of the world you're so tough.

I hate the way you can see past my guards and blockers.
The way you can share with me, only around me, you're a big talker.
When you touch me, i feel the tingles and have to wonder if you do too.
You make me feel special, like theres none, and I'm the one thats been with the few.

I hate how you can make me smile.
The way you say my name, makes my head spin for a mile.
You, the only one who can put me on the spot, make me feel like I'm on trial.
When you ask me questions, tell me your secrets, my conscious self can't help but to pace.
I hate how I'm the only one there, that you still see, I'm the one you chase.
When I watch you leave, my eyes sting, as if you've sprayed mace.

I hate how you give me nothing to hate..! !
I hate how you show up, not bothering to be late.
I hate how we met, as if in a fairy tale, we left it up to 'fate.'
I hate how I have to dig.
I hate how I hate you.
Your heart, a rapidly growing flower, my heart, never left the pot before.
Your roots, strong and directional, you take me in, I'm yours to care for.

These things I hate.
These things I can't take.
I have to say, the reason I bother to look, to -dig, to keep rolling the dice, the reason I hate you, is you didn't give up on me.
You believed in me, when I myself didn't think I could be what I want to be.
You know the words to say, how to say them, where it warms me.
Only I trusted I had no heart, I couldn't love, I forget to remind you, letting the warns be.
I dont trust myself, I dont trust how you know this.
We walk a tight rope, only because we are walkers.
We talk this big game, only because we are talkers.
But YOU walk a long road, because it leads to me.
And I talk a gamblers speech, because it pushes me where I need to be.
Now that you know this, I turn and walk to leave.
I do it only because, you know and I know;
Hates a tease and Love puts this at ease.
