Oh how I hate myself

When I have to admit to myself

That I love you

And yet

I cant help it

Yes I hate myself

When I cannot read your mind

Though I am not psychic

And find out

If you –too- love me

Oh yes I hate myself

When I confuse the look

In your eyes

For desire

When in your heart

It is a contradiction

I hate myself, hate myself

Hate, hate, hate myself

When I

Cannot accept the fact

That maybe…

You

Are too good for me.

CHANGES

Leaves may fall

But new leaves return

In their place

Beneath the surface of change

Lies an unchanging pattern

In all the changing circumstances of my life

I am warmed and strengthened

By my thoughts of you
