I hate you for your weakness, br your strong arm and tearful face br and your dark, black destiny, br why always shrouded in black? br br Spurning friends, not seeing foes, br yielding to your destroyer, br languidly awaiting Fate, br pockets empty, mind still closed. br br But I still love you, fixed like br a diamond to my torn dreams; br sleeping and waking you will br always be close to my heart. br br My lips burn, my head reels from br this poison that now seems sweet.
