draft 0119 – the writer and the writing.

Writing. I love you and I hate you.

Why do you make me hate you sometimes?

Why do you hate me sometimes?

Why do you make it hard to write?

Why do you give me writer's block?

Why do you make me love it sometimes?

Why do you make me love you?

Why does love feel forbidden?

Is it too good to be true?

Is it an insecurity thing?

Possibly?

So, why?

I do it so you crave me more.

I do it so you can think of me.

I do it so you have to try.

I do it to tease you.

I do it because I hate you sometimes.

I do it because I love you sometimes.

This is why.

Writing, you have won me over.

I concede to you.

You do realise that our relationship is a complicated one, I a writer and you the writing. We are constantly fighting with each other.

Oh, I do realise.

Writing, I love you and I hate you.

Writer, I love you and I hate you.

Match made in heaven.

So, I’ll be back on Wednesday afternoon at 1pm.

See you then, drafters.
