you hate me.

and I love you.

You wish I sat in disdain.

You see red and black.

I treasure you.

---

Enraged from the depths of me.

Even in death I’d unearth what’s underneath.

Gold and white, however dimmed.

---

You wish you knew what I know.

You wish you knew subterranean solitude.

Concealed and numb.

---

I’d sail the seas.

Clamber to the ice.

I’d unearth all the worms one could see.

---

Too bad.
