Untitled Poem by guest poet Chiquita Hyche

I love you but I hate you

Sounds real cliché but it’s true

I try to stay away from you but it’s

Something about you that’s drawing me closer

We on two different pages but I’m trying to slow

Down so you can catch up

But time keeps passing

And I keep wondering

Will I ever have you…

Will I ever have those things that I wish for in you

It’s like I’m trying to make something a reality but its remaining a dream

I know you got your heart broke

Once and you keep trying to rewind time and go back

But I want you to move on

I want you to know that it’s more in life than heartbreak n unhappiness

I’m trying to give you something I never had

But I’m getting pushed away

I’ve given up on so much but

I won’t give up on you

I love you because I see the good in you

I see you trying

I see you being the perfect guy but you’re scared

I have so much high hopes for you

You deserve better but you stuck

I see you being the man you want to be

But do you see it

I love you but I hate you

I hate you because you me in a place where I don’t know what’s next

I don’t know if I should continue to love you

Or give up on you

I’m confused because the words you say suppress my feelings but your actions

Tend to hurt them

I hate you because I feel like you leading me on

N I’m continuing to follow

I hate you because I fell in love with you

I wasn’t trying to but it happened

So it’s me who gotta deal with it

Whatever comes next I’m willing to deal with it

I love you

But I hate you

I just hope at that end

It don’t hurt so much
