Love Poem: Love and Hate

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

Sometimes it takes 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
