you


i dont hate you the way people hate evil
they pretend they hate it but indulge in it.
but i hate you the way people love evil
private, hidden, secluded in the folds of my heart.

i dont hate you the way real people love
with conditions, ultimatums, lies
i hate you the way romeo loved juliet
wholeheartedly, forever, eternally

i dont hate you the way prostitutes love sex
cos most of them are there cos they have to
i hate you the way serial killers like to kill
perverted, twisted, distorted.

i dont hate you the way siblings love each other
that love just isnt strong enough to qualify
i hate you the way a mother loves her child
strong, virile, vehement

i dont hate you the way people love to hate celine dion
playfully, prankishly, mischievously
i hate you the way white people hate oj
determined.

i dont hate you the way nigerians love educational titles
unnecessary, needless
i hate you the way racists love to hate colour
cold,heartless, unfeeling

my smile hides the feelings of great hatred.
my words cloud the emotions buried deep down.
i hate you cos you can never be half the man that he is
i hate you cos i simply love hating you.

- so i loved the comments i got on my last post...they were so hilarious.thanks guys, you are the best.

- the poem is really nothing that personal...ive just never felt the level of disgust that i feel for this boy before in my life.i couldnt even write much about it cos this is the first time ive ever tried to write a hate poem before.
so i'd like to know if you have ever hated someone so much that your heart just wants to burst...cos thats def the way i feel now.

fave fb status:It's been so long since I made love,
I can't even remember who gets tied up.

i hope you guys have a great weekend. eat vegetables.

  2. never hated someone b4 (except random evil people). hating someone is just to exhausting, imagine all the energy spent beefing alone, talk less of hating...

  5. In the Naija extended family system and all the intrigues it comes with, it is almost impossible not to have one relative that grates on ur nerves... Or fifteen... Not sure if I hated them...

    Hmmm... Unprecedented level of disgust? Check.Heart wanting to burst? check. Getting angry even when they aren't there just cos u remembered what they did? check. OK, who am I kidding... :)

    Some people deserve it sha... I'm with you on this one.

  13. That's a lot of hate you got there. I have to admit I have hated someone as much, maybe even more than you. I hated him so much that he just sort of became a cellophane man in my life. It's unkind, it's unChristian to hate that much but at the time I really didn't give a crap.
    Have a nice day!

    :)
    xoxo

  14. Hatred occurs through many things but not good for body,instead of hating someone,try as much as possible to avoid the person,thats the solution

  16. hate is destructive.
    don't hate
    love instead
    hating is for the weak.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I hate him so much, i wish i cld wipe out his existence.......lol. Seriously tho.... I've hated veggies since i was a kid...

    ReplyDelete
  24. i dont mind veggies especially if i eat it with something.mayb rice, bread etc.

    as for the hate i think thr's a very thin line between love and hate, i think u still love this person, else they would not even matter to u as in why waste such a huge emotion(hate) on anyone u dont care about.indifference woulda been fine.
