Synopsis: Love Like Loathing
An attempt to write a novel in which the events are never seen from the point of view of the main character.
Amber likes to have total control over everything in her life. This is the story of what happens when she can't manage that any more.
Excerpt: Love Like Loathing
"Love Like Loathing"
Lyrics & music: Matt Lloyd/The Ells
I don't want to break your heart, she said.
But thoughts of her keep running through my head.
Don't give your heart to me,
Don't trust your heart with me,
So what's she doing, lying in my bed...
Chorus:
I love you, I like you, I loathe you.
Wish that I could find the guts to leave you.
You never wanted me,
It's clear for all to see,
You kiss me, touch me, I love the way you tease.
I love you, I like you, I loathe you.
You'll never want me just the way I want you.
But all that I can ask,
Be careful with my heart,
I'm begging you, be gentle with me please...
So when you take my hand, kiss me so nice
I know that loving you will have its price.
I gave my soul to you,
You didn't want me to,
I love you though your heart is cold as ice.
