Love Poem: Hating Love

Hating Love

I hate love, for love makes us hate,
I love hate, for hate makes us not love

If it were not for love
We would have no hate
If it were not for hate
We would have the love

Hate of greed, of jealousy, of possession
Stems from that of love
Love of that of care and passion
Soon does turn to hate

Love leads us astray from happiness
Hate leads us astray of love

If love were to go
We would feel no suffering
If hate were to go
We would feel no loving pain

Love and hate
And, hate and love
Are much the same to I
Yet love and hate
And, hate and love
Are two separate things alike
