Hate is powerful, just like Love
People say you shouldn’t hate, well should you love
Love Hate
Such a thin line
But one without the other
Well that just can’t be
I love you company, on those lonely nights in spring
How you lie next to me and whisper sweet nothings in my ear
How your kiss feels on those passionate nights
How you stare into my eyes to catch a glimpse of my soul
How that one night our hearts beat as one
How you listened when no one would lend me an ear
How you stood by my side, when the world turned its back
How when you cry, a piece of me dies inside
But when there is joy in your smile my heart shines, boo
Our sweet little names that we call each other
I love you, yes indeed I do
I hate our spurts of random anger
The meaningless arguments that really solve nothing
Your judgmental friends, who are miserable and all alone
Your father’s evil eye, when I’m not in town
Your mother’s snide remarks, when I’m not around
Your time of the month, cause your hate flows freely
When you say “we need to talk”, my heart skips a few beats
See to truly love or hate requires commitment
A commitment to that person for a lifetime
Too much love without hate is delusional
Too much hate without love is detrimental
Balance between to two means together forever in most cases
Love is where I want to be
But hate is all I tend to see
