Knight of Swords



He realizes just how much he hates me,
every single time we exchange an SMS.
There isn't a single thing in this world,
the two of us can agree on.
'Love dies when bound in marriage', I say
'That's ridiculous', says he,
'The sanctity of marriage is one to be cherished for life.'

I hate him in turn,
for being so much like his logical sibling,
whose every action is dictated by mind,
every word uttered is thought over so much it loses emotional value
and the pros and cons of every decision made are weighed icily
using that trademark logic and reasoning
leaving the heart playing no role whatsoever.

We realize just how much we detest each other
and should have let go of our love-hate bond
years ago and would have lived never to regret it.
But for that extraordinary communication between us
that doesn't only flow...it leaps and bounces,
giving neither of us the will
to terminate it for good.
