I have died a thousand tiny death over you
I loved you
I tasted the fruits of Hell
I hated you
I fell in love with Heaven
I knew you
I lost myself
I looked into your eyes
I’ve seen pain
I kissed your lips
I found death
I touched your skin
I felt empty
I listened to your heart beat
I heard a hollow shell
I searched for your soul
I’ve found nothing
I have died a thousand tiny deaths
Every time I thought of you
I love you
I hate you
But I just can not get over you
I want you to stay
But please leave
I can’t stand you
But I can not get enough of you
I can’t trust you
But I give you my heart
I don’t want to keep it
But here is the key to my soul

This poem is magnificent! I love it! It shows the love for someone but knowing they're not good for you but you still want them...I've gone through this many times and it's a very tough choice. Great write,

This is a nice poem. I especially like how you began, in a way, listing reasons why you love and hate this person in the second stanza. I also like how throughout the entire poem you constantly go back and forth between two different points of view, one that you love this person and the other that you hate them. You did a nice job with this free verse poem. Awsome job. I can't wait to read more by you!
Some relationships , although full of passion, are also extremely destructive. To be strong enough to acknowledge this and know that it is better ended shows that you have a core of self honesty and inner strength. You seem to utilize both of these rare assets when you write.
Tattered and torn by the trials of a heart broken. I know the feeling, but the good news is that we worked it out and I have been married to her for 5 years now (together for 10). She has given me two beautiful boys and I love her with all my heart. Great write.
Love is such a mixed-up emotion. Your write shows a lot of emotion, a lot of confusion (not in the writing, but in the feelings portrayed)like the speaker loves, yet hates; so confused with their feelings. This is a well-written piece.
First line death should be plural and that is the only flaw I can see here.I think that I would change the 4th to last line to read, " I don't want you to keep it" that is me though! This is so full of emotion and I like it alot. Thanks, Anthony
