Love & Hate among the Ruins

just saw the ravages of both, the moment i awoke

Love & Hate Among the Ruins

 

 

Long past infatuation

   well past disposal.

 

Love & Hate, the same sides -

       of different coins

   of devotion.

 

We love to hate

   and we hate to love.

 

for one is a seductive pleasure

       that only leads to our demise -

 

and one is an extreme danger

       that only leads to our heart

          being split

              by 2.

 

Yes love can transcend Hate

Yes love can heal all  --

 

but the price of such journeys

   is the dissolution of all we

          ---  as such ---

                     are..

 

and the rewards

       are ambiguous --

CODA:

 

       Love and Hate Among the Ruins

          of the human condition

          one a building block

          one a wrecking ball

             --- you choose ---

       which instrument you need

          to be born,

              again.
