The Law of Opposites
I am your mistress,
However
You trust me more than your wife.
You make love to me,
However
Soon you will look at your watch.
I hate this moment,
However
I know my place, like a faithful dog.
I feel like crying,
However
I am silent while you put on your clothes.
I am tongue-tied,
However
I say good-bye, kiss you and smile.
I am mad and desperate,
However
I cannot stop loving you.
I want to curse you,
However
I pray and bless your in my prayer.
I love you,
However
My love has the taste of wormwood.
I hate you,
However
I begin to dream of a new date
From the moment I lock the door behind you.
