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.
