The hate I feel for that word grows stronger each day.
Its agony in such a sweet form.
Four letters that bring a Heavy Burden.
LOVE
You speak it with such ease.
My throat clinches as I try to swallow it.
So candy coated and sweet but so poisonous in the end.
LOVE
The weakest of people cling to it as though it was last hope.
Its the very substance of our own self Hate.
It requires your submission for its dominance.
LOVE vs. HATE
Which of these is greater.
One brings Sweet Companionship and Devastation when taken away.
And the other doesn't allow the Vulnerability that causes the Devastation.
How can something as Great as Love require Us to Expose our Weakest Spots to obtain it?
HATE
The Sting of this is Far Greater.
Once you have embraced this feeling you will find Love less.
Its a relief among the Pain.
HATE
It sharpens your Heart and Dulls your weakness.
It requires so little of you.
But consumes every part of you at the same time.
HATE
It pulls its power from Solidarity.
The more alone you are the More powerful you can be.
How do you measure such a Force of Emotion?
HATE vs. LOVE
Hate can overcome Love with the simplest of ease.
One will leave you a Hard Cold shell of a Person.
The other will leave you Thriving for the Next Fix.
Why does Hate come at such a High Cost? All consuming and relentless to anyone who crosses it!
So in this battle you have Love & Hate. One Builds you up as a Warrior and the Other Breaks you down and then turns you to stone. One allows you a conscience and remorse. The other makes your Heartless and Unforgiving.
Choose wisely for each of these is Great.
I really like the contrast here. This poem produces a lot of images.
