Love Hate Relationship

You say you love me

So why do you hate me

For being everything

That’s not like you

 

You want me to change

My life, my friends

Estrange my family

Where will this end?

 

Will I still be allowed

to be me?

Or be controlled like

a gadget with a PCB?

 

I guess I know where

this is heading

My world is like water

and I’m just treading

 

Until I run out of steam

Give up, look back

My old life now a dream

A perfect poem, Rick. Quite Larkinesque, at least in spirit!
