Love and Hate

The difference between love and hate,
is a small invisible line.
Some don't know it,
till they've crossed it.
While some have a foot planted on either side.
Love it changed to hate by,
rejection, lies, and tragedy.
Hate it turned to love by,
Forgiveness, enlightenment, and new memories.
People observe it everyday,
and it will never truly go away.
Both sides playing a game of tug-a-war,
fated to be tied.
No one side wins
No one side loses,
Because love and hate are one in the same
a double sided coin.
were one falls the other is always close behind.
