Give me a reason to hate you

Days merge into nights

As I sit here,

With no one but myself;

Loneliness looming over the room

Like a dark rain cloud,

Making me claustrophobic.

Thoughts, so palpable,

Swirl around you

Like a tornado,

Sucking the life out of me.

No one speaks.

No one, but a voice…

My companion of late

Tells me something

That makes no sense

And all the sense in the world.

“Your love story was a fantasy,

Of unmade promises and false hopes.”

I let the thought linger for a while

Willing it to correct itself

But, it corrects not;

The day when you will be

A memory

And nothing more

Seems far and unreal;

To deconstruct the future

I ever so fondly built,

To wade through my life,

A life sans you,

To help me breathe again,

Give me a reason

To hate you, my love.
