I Hate You, I Love You Poem by Vera Dike

I hate You and I love You
with the same power
Yes, You, my dear
my joy, my happines, my strengh
my grief, my weakest point, my doom
My point of no return
You, The source of my peace
as well as my rage
my safety, my pervert beauty
of a Golden Cage.

Because I am shaking
like river reed in the vain
yet, here is certain sweetnes
in Your chain
I wear armor
anytime you lit
your overwhelming passion
and - as black velvet
Your eyes are soft and dark
and because
I am afraid of the darkness
and scared of the light.

This is why I hate myself
when I love You
and hate You
when You love me.
