Hate

I ask God to bless you every day

it's a breath a wish a sigh

in the car, bath, private spaces

my heart.

Every prayer fervent

like for a child at war

a lover absent

a sick heart.

I pray as if there is joy in my heart for you.

He blessed me

I'm not afraid anymore

I don't hate anymore

My only prayer now is that you won't always

hate me.
