Prompt--'Hated Love'by
AnnaMLKoski

I do not hate you, my beloved,

It's the fallacy of your love that I hate.

You look at me as if I'm the silver crescent

Not seeing the other half hiding in the night's shadows

You're enraptured by my gentleness ,

But you do not sense the dark passion within me?

You might cherish my strength and resilience,

Yet do you love my fragile heart, as well ?

You sing adulations of my perfect beauty,

Will you admire my imperfections and faults?

You try to tear me with your love, my dear

And for that I hate this canard called 'love'.

A bit rushed. Yet does it not have a ring of truth?
