How Can I Love You? Poem by Lushan Massri

How can I love you?
When you put me through so much?

I can't take much more of this, this hate!

You hurt me; kill me inside.
Your name tears at the very essence of my being.

Boy, I don't think I ever want to see you.
I've become afraid of you.

You are the subject of my most frightening dreams. You are the reason I cannot sleep at night...

And with so much dread...
Very few words will be said...

How can I love you...?
