Irony

I long for my enemy
Yesterday I wanted to
But couldn't because of the shawl
Everywhere I go is a mirror
Him that lives in me owls for a call
Worst enemy,best friend
Hate that I love you so
Beating,heating,hitting,biting
Just a piece
All I'll ever ask for
My sojourn ends where yours began
I'm weak but not like him
That starts not to finish
Intimidated by the obvious pull
What a Shylock?
I...I....leaving me speechless
Mouth dropping,gaping wide
Needs an approval
Golden kisses.filtering 'yeses'
I die to stop my...
Can I be my lover?
Never 'll it be
Till the end of the world.
