I want you to hate me

I need you to hurt me

I crave this abuse

for this I cannot lose

for if I stop and

look into your eyes

the torture is more bruising

more miserable

than my lies

I want you to hate me

so much

I negate

and lie

so much, so much

I cannot cry

no, not in front of you

you see my hesitation

I hate..?

your eyes enrapture

I'm in a hex

but my hate for you

is more complex

I'm in a haze

of hate and horror and longing

...longing?

I'm so sick

please just kill me

fast or slow

for this longing is too horrible for me to show

I know

this wouldn't work

I'm going to hell

my heaven, heaven

I scream at you

and curse and attack

your lithe flesh

your hit me back

I fall to the floor

with no regrets

except...

I slowly get up

my eyes aglow

I smile softly...

"There is something you should know..."

you just laugh so easily

and crack a grin

"What is it, dib-stink, tell me,"

I get up

and grab you

I whisper in your lekku

"Here's my secret, do not repeat, for this hatred is deceit..."

your eyes look puzzled and confused

and suddenly soft

as I kiss, kiss, kill you

you slam me against a wall

your eyes look intently

into me

"What is this, Dib-thing... you did to Zim!"

you demand, your cheeks so flushed

your eyes are angry but softly hushed

I just lay there, blood seeping from my wounds

"It is my doom..."

nothing more

you start to waver

I start to scream,

"Get away from me zim..!"

I didn't mean...

"If you don't.. I'll kill you...!"

you just smile and let me through

you touch me softly

and I retch

and collapse to the floor

"What a mess you are, dib.." you say... kneeling before me

before my eyes, I cannot see

I felt your lips bruise against me

"I hate you too, dib..."

and then you leave
