How did it come down to this?

How did it come down to this?

My heart so full of lust

yet so full of hate.

 

How did it come down to this?

My life in order,

yet still falling apart.

 

 

You took me

and you broke me.

I hate you

yet I love you.

 

 

How did it come down to this?

For me to feel like this,

yet feel nothing at all.

conflict at its best

[LittleMadGirl]

Showed the conflict pretty well. Clear and simple poem in contrast to the brain scattering contradiction you're expressing.
well done!
Keep it up!

[Molly M]

Mm conflicting emotions are maddening.

[Scott A. Williams]

Great contradictions here. Simple, but that says it all...

[Daniel Thomas Andrew Da..]

Its ok - the ideas need to be developed more - not enough to dig into - the 'I hate you yet I love you' is well done - the duality idea in the poem is strong in this sense, and I can see why you like it. I would work on lengthening it and deepening each phrase with examples and metaphor perhaps. Not bad. Daniel

yes it is one of your best I have to agree. I really like this.
Love the mixed feelings/emotions in this. Bet everyone of us have been there and done that.
Great poem

This is one of the best poems that I've read by you so far. You've grown in a poet and it's amazing. I can't wait till you grow up and fulfill your dreams. Great poem. :)

A lot of people feel like this including myself. Sometimes I question myself about someone important to me that keeps secrets from me and then when everything is suppose to be ok and it isn't. I guess its secrets of fear and not being able to trust me. I suppose this person wants to learn by himself. This has been a pleasure to read it gets me thinking.
