It's A Thin Line......

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

You never yeild the diaphanous 
     conceptual demarcation 
  between love & hate
Until you yourself draw the line

  You finally apprehend the view
 of obtaining a substantial
    quantum of both emotions 
  to rupture your own spine

You reminisce on all the sweetness
   your heart still hold
Then hatred swoop down bold
  Leaving your once-warm core cold
 Causing ill-natured sourness to unfold

   Then you remember the love still 
      shacking within
 And wonder what went wrong, 
        how, why & when

          All you know
   Is that you have been raped 
         of your flow
  And you want these dreadful 
            atrocities to go

   How can you harbor so much love
 And host just as much hate?
         It is fate?  
  A failure for your brain 
          to communicate?

 Can one be destined to possess a 
a vast portion of hate
   while the love refuses 
       to dissipate?
 Is it too late 
    to start over with
  a clean slate?
And remove all the hate you feel
   for your mate?

Maybe it's something you ate
 Or evil is lurking at the gate
   Leaving you out there as bate
          At any rate
  It's a thin line between 
      love & hate

Reason for writing:

    It's late, I'm restless and watching sappy movies....
