This is the first of what I intend on being several short poems inspired by search string referrers to this blog (i.e., things people have searched for and found this blog). To start with, let me bring up a theme that has found this blog a lot recently: the relationship between love and hate (this mainly leads to the post entitled Love Leads To Hate).
odi et amo
Never did those ancient words seem so true
Never did they resonate throughout my life
Like they do now
Never did those ancient words seem so true
They seem so frightfully close to me
Like the words do now
For what is a love-sick man to do?
They seem so frightfully close to me
The girls that surround themselves around me
For what is a love-sick man to do?
Could it really be what it seems?
The girls that surround themselves around me
They claim they love me to all their friends
Could it really be what it seems?
Is it all part of a greater joke?
They claim they love me to all their friends
Do I claim to love them in return?
Is it all part of a greater joke?
Should I just ignore them all?
Do I claim to love them in return?
Will I be parodied further?
Should I just ignore them all?
What do they intend to do with their claims?
Will I be parodied further?
Why do I not hate them?
What do they intend to do with their claims?
It just makes me look stupid
Why do I not hate them?
I may as well hate them, for all they have done to me
It just makes me look stupid
Hate is the only solution to this
I may as well hate them, for all they have done to me
Their love is my hate
Hate is the only solution to this
Never did I ever truly want them
Their love is my hate
Never did they resonate throughout my life
Never did I ever truly want themodi et amo
