Hatred

Hatred

A Poem by Geralyn Miller

Hate

is a ravening beast,

gnawing

at heart and soul

of the one who hates.

Hate

consumes the heart

until

no love is possible.

Hate

hollows the soul,

leaving only

a empty husk.

Hate

diminishes the Hater,

not the Hated.

The Flames of Hatred, consuming all they touch. Reminds me of a poem I once made. Regardless, nice poem, well made, good emotion!

Hate is the opposite of love,
and a wasted emotion. Nicely
done Geralyn...
