The poem I have written below was featured on the blog A Disposable Woman, but for those of you who have not seen it yet I place it here for your reading enjoyment:
the will to love
you love me but you hate me
and it just keeps going round and round
where does the hate stop and love begin
i need you to show me
because it all looks the same
wanting to love
and willing to love
look different too
one is easy--almost too easy
the other is the test
do i love or do i hate
is what i do a mixture as well
muddied up into bittersweet
i want to love
yet am i willing
i search my heart
and find it willing
willing love into being
as far as i can see
you accepting what i have to give
the will to love
you love me but you hate me
and it just keeps going round and round
where does the hate stop and love begin
i need you to show me
because it all looks the same
wanting to love
and willing to love
look different too
one is easy--almost too easy
the other is the test
do i love or do i hate
is what i do a mixture as well
muddied up into bittersweet
i want to love
yet am i willing
i search my heart
and find it willing
willing love into being
as far as i can see
you accepting what i have to give
