11 Hate — Summary

Do not come to me, You will get hurt,

My hand are shaking, Seeing you like this, With no tears in me, No hug for the morning, Everything gone.

Gone from our sight, I am gone in your heart, Let them take me, Do not take my hand, Even i said i want it,

Aware, Do not ever take my hand,

Just hate me, Like the amount you love me, Remove me from your heart, Hate me until i die.

Do not say you love me, I know it hurt, When you wanna say 'i love you', But no happiness in your face, Just saying 'i hate you',

So, I can just go in peace.

The speaker is pushing someone away out of love, and the poem reads like a goodbye. Again and again they tell the other person to stay back: "Do not come to me," "Do not take my hand." The warning that "you will get hurt" suggests the speaker believes they are a source of pain, or that their leaving will be painful no matter what.

The strangest request comes near the end. The speaker asks to be hated, "like the amount you love me," as if hatred would be easier to carry than grief. Even the line "Even i said i want it" shows a tug-of-war, since the speaker wants comfort but refuses it. The imagery of shaking hands, no tears and no morning hug leaves a numb, empty feeling.

The mood is heavy, quiet and sorrowful. The final line, "I can just go in peace," sounds calm, but it carries a lot of sadness, and the poem leaves us worried about the speaker.
