GOOD-BAD EVENINGS

It's harder in the evenings,
all the weight atop my head,
falls on my shoulders,
then it all comes crashing down.

I've got mixed feelings about evenings,
I love 'cus I get to be alone in my thoughts,
free from all the prying eyes,
just my thoughts, the sky and I.

I hate 'cus I come down from my high,
in successive waves of roiling emotions,
leaving me bare in the stifling silence,
raw from all the gaping wounds.

I love, I hate,
I hate, I love,
in a viscous cycle,
waiting to get its claws,
on the threads and strings,
that holds it all together.

I hate, I love,
I love, I hate,
in a viscous cycle,
wanting to prey,
on the weak link,
but I have it all together in a strong interlink.

So I thought,
so I have been thinking,
within the walls of my crazy musings,
in stark white or black,
and murky greys.

The love I hate, the hate I cherish,
excuses I give without blemish,
all ends in a never-ending cycle,
of pain, hurt, and loneliness,
then a blissful death.
