Hate Instead

Screaming in the silence,

Crying in the rain,

A thousand voices whispering

Driving me insane...

 

Any time I love you

It makes the pain last longer

So why don't I just hate instead

Perhaps it will make me stronger.

 

You were the one to build my heart

And you were the one who broke it

You were the one who said good-bye

'Cos God knows I never spoke it.

Very nice, Excedrin. *applaudes* It paints a vivid picture. Classic theme; I like it.

 

"So why don't I just hate instead

Perhaps it will make me stronger."

 

I've contemplated that very thing many a time; never came to a conclusion, though.

Wow, I belive you really captured the pain of wanting to be loved. Hate Instead well captures an aspect of love not often thought about. I think that anyone who has trouble understanding "I hate you even more because I love you" should read this poem.

 

Well done.

well done. Vivid imagery and captures the angst.

 

Looks suspiciously at the syllable counts in the second stanza, compares them to the 1st and 3rd, but moves on.

 

You've a strong voice to express inner torments. I hope you can find another key to your creativity.
