Love and Hate

A "Valentine's" poem from a few years back, right after my first love departed.

Love & Hate

 

Hanging in the balance

     of all that I once knew,

thwarted by the blinding light

     of all consuming darkness.

 

Lost to what I hoped to find

     and starving from it’s plenty,

cast aside in your embrace

     and frozen in the fires.

 

All I have is all you’ve got,

     (regurgitated dreams),

my cries of silence ringing clear,

     why won’t you let me be?

 

So with this vow I bind us part,

     unholy matrimony,

love and hate can be our grace,

     a grave so welcome calling.

Oh, but the dichotomies are important. No love without hate. No happiness without sorrow. Great write.
