Loves Strife

Emotions of love is what we yearn Striving and clinging to the most absurd Looking about in haze held fast Believing in love will save us from doubt The touch of a hand The gaze of an eye Will make us feel more alive Until the dark creeps past that mark Then we see and hear what may not really be there The pain wells up, envelopes us whole Emotions of hate take full control Feelings of loss, pain of the heart Only regret is whats left Behind in a void, where love once thrived Now only chaos and doubt reside Leaving that yearning for love feeling strong Wishing and hoping to find it before long But as time passes, with no love in life The bitterness and hate grow more into sight Fading love to memory Giving hate full might
