Love/Hate Relationship

 

Magnificence!
There is no
Screeching.
The notes
Are pronounced.
Mistakes,
Nonexistent.
The beauty
Piercing the ears.
The sound
Flowing,
A river.
Unlike
Any other.
I will listen to
It all day.
Hating
When it ends.
It makes me smile.
Why me?
Why me?
It makes me smile
When it ends.
Hating
It all day.
I will listen to
Any other.
Unlike
A river
Flowing.
The sound
Piercing the ears.
The beauty,
Nonexistent.
Mistakes,
Are pronounced.
The notes,
Screeching.
There is no
Magnificence.
