Part of me wants to march up
and slap you as hard as I can.
Part of me wants to walk up
and kiss you as softly as possible.
I want to shove you out
of my life entirely
but I also want to hold you close,
tell you to never leave my side.
I want to reject you.
Yet I want to accept.
Go away,
but don’t leave.
I want to snuggle in your arms
but I don’t want you to touch me.
I can’t tare my gaze from your face
but I hate the sight of it.
You’re perfect, only you make me happy.
You’re a total a******,
I swear only you know how to hurt me this bad.
I’m pushing and pulling
and I want you here
and I want you gone
and I just don’t know
what I want more.
