Love & Hate
I love you for all the lies you told
I hate you for believing they were true
I love you for knocking me around
I hate you for the bruises that never healed
I love you for everything I thought you were
I hate you for coming into my life
I love you for acting like you cared
I hate you for choosing them over me
I love you for coming home anyway
I hate you for making me fall in love
I love you when your lying in the ground
I hate you for making me be the one
I love the blood on my hands, it's true
I hate that you're actually gone, who knew
I love you always..until we meet again

Hi Cat
Thank you for the high praise! This definitely came from a broken, damaged part of me. Glad you were able to see the meaning and enjoyed it. :)

Hi Cat
In other times, I had a female alter ego. I don't relate well to a male alter even tho I really enjoy Eddy and Killer. I think the parts of me that are still broken really dislike men and makes it hard to jump into their skin.
