Something That's Not Quite Love

I'm an optimistic pessimst,
And a pessimistic optimist.
I know everything about nothing,
Yet, nothing about everything.
I'm a lover of language,
And an abuser of words.
I wanted to be something to someone,
But, I am nothing to no one.

I hate you with all I have,
Yet, I want you so much it hurts.
You are everything to me,
And nothing at all.
You are my whole world,
And I am invisible to you.
I'd be lying if I said I loved you,
But, I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
