LOVE AND HATE

There's a thin line between love and hate
Between a happy and state...
The one that keeps you high in the sky in one moment...
And flings you to the hard, cruel ground the next one...
In a heartbeat moving from dancing in the rain and kissing beneath the stars...
From knowing you will never part...
To swimming and drowning and choking in hurt...
From painting dreams and winding streams...
To shattered dreams and silent screams...
From finishing his sentences and reading minds...
To anger and repulsion heavy as evening tides...
From speaking your heart with nothing but truth...
From holding another's heart with feelings so true...
To making the very same heart blue...
From stolen hugs in the middle of the day...
To wishing you never stray upon my way...
From being the pot of gold at the rainbow's end...
To bringing tears with no end...
From love to hatred turned...
When the goodness within gets burned...
Or the warmth that once was just no longer is...
Incapable of bringing what was once bliss...
When life draws two people away...
When it makes no sense for them to stay...
Though they thought they'd remain forever that way...
Together every waking day...
But love be not blind...
Only choosing what to see...
Choosing what to be...
The thin line that turns everything fine into one large land mine...
Love and hate...
The thin, blurred line
