The ones Embedded in Your Heart

In a lifetime there is a hero and a villain,

not the ones who are set to destroy the world,

or the ones with any great cause for retribution,

but the ones you learn to love and hate.

The funny thing is...

usually the person you hate and the person you love are the same person,

you may not love them to the point of obsession,

nor rage against them,

but they just have those little habits that make you smile,

or put you down,

they can annoy you to the point you're grinding your teeth and tearing your hair from the roots,

or they can cause you to swoon and cherish every little moment you have with them.

They are the ones who step into your life,

and you nearly die when they leave you.

They are the ones who push you to the ground and encourage you from the top of the staircase.

They are the ones you want to support and hope they could be your pillar too.

That's why sometimes you just can't help but hate the one you love,

because they are so embedded in you lovesick heart,

that anything they do changes your world.

They are the ones that affect you the most.

There was a lot of truth in this poem. I particularly liked the line "They are the ones who push you to the ground and encourage you from the top of the staircase.". Well done :)
