Between Love & Hate

As the world falls down my heart gives in.
I can't take the fighting, the tension, the pain.
We go around in circles about the same thing, over and over.
I wish we could just make it stop.
Make the pain of a pointless cause go away.
It's like a kitten caught out in the rain.
Waiting for help and no one to save.
The words they flow out like a waterfall.
The blistering cold water stinging my skin.
I wince in pain but that's all there is.
With so much love how could hate be thrown in?
