Hating Love

I hate love, for love makes us hate, I love hate, for hate makes us not love If it were not for love We would have no hate If it were not for hate We would have the love Hate of greed, of jealousy, of possession Stems from that of love Love of that of care and passion Soon does turn to hate Love leads us astray from happiness Hate leads us astray of love If love were to go We would feel no suffering If hate were to go We would feel no loving pain Love and hate And, hate and love Are much the same to I Yet love and hate And, hate and love Are two separate things alike
