The love/hate connection, no handbook for it

The Love/Hate Connection
By Ryan Thatcher

As I close my eyes
My mind blind,
Hidden deep
A ghost lies.
Something taunts me
With fear from within,
Knows the emotions I feel
Way before I know of them.
What is happening
Why can't things be fine.
This reality too real
Crushing this simple heart of mine.
I've sought hard
but I've found nothing
An endless array
Of fake objects, depressing.
A dip into the pool of life
Can leave you drowning.
Away from what you know,
Drifting out of sight.
A pocket of air,
The path of least resistance.
Only to find another dam,
Solve this next equation.
Fingers frolic as the mind spins,
Tapping out a calculation.
Trying to decode this thing they call:
The Love/Hate connection
