hate(need)

when nuance is gone, what remains isn’t clarity

the gathered lexicon

battered, used, adored

the dreadful compulsion

to carve, to scream, to put into words

words ripped apart, jagged and torn 

the suf's, the pre's

macabre, melancholic endings

with no resolve, no -fixes

a syllable, a synonym 

a gutting inflection

"I ____ you"

with accents of tonal laceration

the proofreader path

long and etched into my skin

red-ink lines, my lexicon

hate and its definition

when nothing's left

to be loved, or said

choking on torn-page breath

i won't ruin that silence

Hello, the darkest, but hopefully powerful poet. I looked up more than half of the words in the dictionary, or should I say lexicon. Ive also loved the old title of that poem too "hate,need,love,loss". In my eyes you were always an original poet and somehow you manage to make this originality even more original in every new poem. You have feelings and words and there it is! You are an incredible poet. Lucky to read you. Just keep going!
I will always___ you (read,listen,watch)
