Love, Hate

courtesy of vectorstock

Eternal love, undying hate

Both are sweet and sour

You choose which to taste

Love to one might be dour

Or perhaps a twist of fate.

Hello hate so sweet

Or love groaning in pain

Unsatiated heat

Burning out the shame

I feel a rumbling defeat

Imminent! It finally falls

All forms of love replaced

By the sweetest of all

Hate and anger highly placed

On the pedestal in the hall

I loath myself so strong

For the love I feel

For one so wrong

I know not what to feel

When love was still young

I fail to repent on time

And bid it ride along

Love and loath combine

As I tread this path along

Yet I knew you won't be mine

But I trod on with you

I hate my weakness, emotion

That made me such a fool

Sticking still to the motions

Even after knowing what's true

That we are not meant

To meet at all in the end

Nor till beautiful death

Makes us parallel

Even if we tried our very best

It was fun while it lasted

Least its a story well said

I'll still be sober like I've fasted

After you've gone on to wed

And love you till I'm wasted.

Goodbye my love

The years were well spent

In the little and great stuff

We've done and sent

All the way across

When we hail fellows well met!
