I Do Not Falter

I open my eyes
And wake my alter ego
For years I have been torn
Between contradiction
I tell you I hate you out of habit
I do not falter
I never do
Your eyes lack emotions
But somehow exude
Abysmal confidence
You must think I have failed
I have not
I won
I managed to hate you
More than possible
You're eyes seek the anomaly
And you've won
You know
I know you do
I smiled inwardly
I tell youI hate you
I did not falter
But my eyes betray me
