You are my love,

My hatred, my life

Your touch like a whisper

Your whisper a knife


You are my lullaby

You sing me to sleep

You are the monster

That comes in my dreams


You are a fairytale

My villain, my knight

You are a stranger

You are weak, yet you fight


You are the smile

That you bring to my face

You are the tears

I can't seem to erase


You are the lyrics

That gets me through the day

You are a sad song

That won't pause, only play


You are the doodles

Scribbled on the page

You are the bully

Who tries puts me to shame


You are my poison

My passion, my lure

You are my savior

My killer, my cure

The author's comments:
This poem is about conflicting emotions most teenagers have trouble coming to terms with. I wrote this on a whim, hence the lack of professionalism, but I kind of liked the idea of it being the kind of poem you'd find scribbled in the flap of a love-struck teenage girl.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
