Hate is the New Love

Love is Cthulhu image by Doug Ecks

I saw you again today
and it was good to see you smile
and hear you laugh

but to be so close and not touch
to pretend to be your friend
drove me mad as surely
as the non-euclidean geometries of R’yleh

and I hate you so for your indifference
and would gladly see you burn at Cthulhu’s touch
let his tentacled embrace
crush your sanity
like a spent cigarette
What a lark to see your empty eyes and vacant vacuous smile

Won’t you please take me back?
