Love to be hated

Love to be hated
KRS Murthy

Get out of my place, right this minute
Completely out of my life, and forever
Never would I like to see your ugly face,
Not even hear your name from any soul

Please come into my life to love me forever
To wake up with your arms wrapped around me
Feel your warmth in my heart every morning
As you whisper to me your sweet nothings

Ashamed that I ever met you or knew you
A chapter with you in my life is a waste
So unpleasant that I would like to go back
To erase everything about us in my life

Love is a splendid feeling of being in heaven
Especially when I think of you, every minute
Your love is all I would beg to be ever granted
A special inscription in gold to be treasured

How can I come to finally realize my fortune?
That I would not even dream to ask or deserve
Such a sweet person to be mine, and mine alone
Realize that special things can happen to all of us



Yes, it is unbelievable that I heard all of these
In the roller coaster ride for so many years
Of our love-hate affair that we enjoyed in pain
Yet, it is unbelievable that you are no more!

No more climbing to the heights of your affection
No more lucky to feel the high of emotional gravity
Strong doses of your demanding desires you thrust
Pulling me with your craving intense lust momentum

Even the sudden fall that drained all the warm blood
From my brain was some thing so fortunate to suffer
Knowing deep in my heart that you would be mine
Going up again only seconds after the emotional fall

Your angry face was so much yours, even in your hate
So much yours that I would treasure with all my soul
Just to be happily hated forever by your sweet anger
If you could walk back into my life from the grave

Even the times of hate seems like a heaven on earth
When I realize that all I have is only to think of you
As some one who was mine, sometime in deep love
Other times chose me to be fortunate to intensely hate

To relive through sweet memories are painful as hell
Yet, to be chosen is a true fortune, even if it is to hate
Would rather choose to be hated by you, than anyone else
Especially you, than not have you any more in my life

between love and hate, tis true and your poem certainly points that out in spades. Well done.

Happily hated

What a great line - 'Happily hated by your sweet anger'. It could have been a poem about one person's emotions, rather than a contrast between two. That's what I thought it was until I read further to the end. The counterpoint between the two emotions was well done, with the almost excessive sweetness and formailty of the love against the more vernacular negative emotions. I enjoyed the poem but would have been just as impressed if it had contained less explanation - it worked just as well taking only the first section, for me.
