I Love You - I Hate You

I love you!
Three simple words,
Suspended in air,
Disembodied, unheard,
They didn’t belong there.
They hung, appealing,
Seeking an echo
To twin your feeling
And lighten your woe.

She’d loved you too,
And said it before,
Looking into your eyes
In days of yore.
Now forlorn, she cries,
At words that don’t ring true,
And love drifts into skies
Of desolate blue.

Her world shattered by deceiving,
Nothing can redeem you:
No amount of grieving
Will alter her “I hate you!”
