Love And Hate

Love and hate are closely connected

Emotions both strong and intense

A fine line divides these extremes

Oft times we straddle the fence

It takes what seems like an innocent event

To shove us one way or the other

We're up on top of the world one moment

Next moment afraid we'll smother

Controlling emotions is difficult at best

Bombarded by outside influence

Always requiring strength and dedication

To maintain love's continuance

Lost without love's sweet guiding light

Through sad time and times of joy

Love must conquer the uncertain heart

And never allow hate to destroy

Love and hate are closely connected

Emotions both strong and intense

A fine line divides these two extremes

Oft times we straddle the fence
