Love/Hate

I feel your body warm against mine,

wrapped in my embrace, so divine.

Never worried about sleeping alone.

I'll always have you here in my home

once we're married and spend every single

night together as we further mingle

while as one we become

the epitome of perfect love.

But then tonight we had our first fight.

Words flew from our mouths like sharp knives.

I left the house and walked outside

to try to get away before we collide

like large rocks floating in space.

They collide with each other and erase

all the hopeful memories from days gone by,

making us believe everything was a lie.

But if it was truth

then show me the proof

it wasn't our youth

making us aloof.

Soon enough it was time

and we once again made our rhymes

and our love exploded. The shine

was more than any defined

in the storybooks about love.

But the problem is those are free of

the heartache, pain, and struggle

because no matter how much you snuggle

the heart plays a dangerous game

when it is put in relation to blame

because in relation it became

nothing more than hate contained.

So then again we go back to the fights,

and now here we are with dark, lonely nights.

All I can do is try to rewrite 

the mess I made when I was alright.

Because I thought I was all right

instead of looking out for the love of my life.

I admit to you that I'm quite contrite

about the way that our last fight

erupted over the course of a few nights.

Now it seems that we are outright

stuck staying up late into the night, 

late into my life, 

stuck without a wife.

I honestly thought that she would be my wife

maybe even the center of my pitiful life.

But the future I once dreamed of so great,

was just the beginning of a loving hate.

conflict with the one we love can lead to distance
and it can be difficult to avoid

I'm sorry that this tore you from the one you loved
but I will continue to hope for your happiness again
