Mother Earth

has blessed me with a curse.

I wonder if she knows

that one of her precious creations

planted their roots into my soul

for the rest of my life.

it’s you.

i hate you

for being so loveable,

so witty,

so humorous,

so alluring.

every time i talk to you,

my blood boils

with nothing but anger

and fear.

it frightens me

how i lose control of my senses.

i’m so furious

with your kind and gentle nature.

your words are drenched 

in the finest of honey.

heaven forbid i ever get enough

of that sweet taste.

and you’re so persistent.

your roots reach the depths of my soul

and blossom in the deepest of wounds. 

i hate you so much,

and it bothers me

how i will never forget you.

if only she hadn’t crafted

someone as loving as yourself,

she would have spared me the tears.

the tears of fury i shed

because i am not worthy

of keeping your tender heart. 

when will Mother Earth

bury you in her arms?

i do not know.

who am i going to be

without her creation by my side?

i do not know.

i hate what you’ve done,

but i love you,

i love us,

so much

that it hurts.

oh, Mother Earth.
