ambivalence

by poetic_butterfly - Aquarius

we'll look at the moon
as we always do
and wouldn't you assume
that after awhile
its glow would fade?
it's ambivalence
we'd say
as we know it's not eternal
and we bask in its glow
long after its hope has faded
still hoping ourselves miserably
for its return
love has its sheen
diffuses its fantasy
and its reality
almost equally
how i despise them both
how they coincide
well, we wonder how
love can glow ethereally
and cause hearts bleeding pain
and how we can love that
how we can hate it also
we wonder how
ambivalence exists
and maybe we ought to 
question love instead
besides,
wouldn't you say
that after awhile
all that glows 
will surely fade?
so why do we
keep searching?......
