Waking

I realized today that I hate you
That all I wanted was to hurt you
Because that's what we're really good at.
Hurting.

I woke up this morning to a lie
The same lie I believed every
minute of every day
of my whole, entire life.

I saw you with her and
It broke my heart
Wide open, like a melon
Smashed on the sidewalk.

You felt the need to hurt me
Why I don't know.
I will never know.
But I know that you hurt more.

You took my sanity
And gave me confidence
I'm not sure if that's right
or Wrong. But I know it's truth

We are ghosts in the night,
Angels or demons, I'm not sure which.
Empty, hollow and
yet full of passion, love, hate, anger.

Lovers torn apart
by our own ambitions.
You were always wrong for me
But somehow right.

I realized today that I love you
And always will.
We hurt each other
But then you carry me home.

Take me home...
