Side Effects

A poem about the unwanted, yet undeniable effects that love can have on a person.

I hate so many things about you...
like how my day is boring without you.
And at times when I feel sad and blue,
I hate that you make my smile feel brand new.

Another thing I absolutely despise-
is the way that I feel when you look in my eyes.
I hate that my lips can tell you no lies,
because when you kiss me, I feel my temperature rise.

Something so hot it should set off alarms
is when you grab me and wrap me in your arms.
I hate that with you I feel so safe and warm,
and I hate that you have me wrapped up in your charm.

You bring me more joy than I'd ever dreamed of.
I hate that on me, you fit like a glove.
And you mean so much I'd put nothing above.
But what I hate most is my hate might be love.
