Love To Hate

The transition of love to hate, can take years or less Never, ever could or would one have anticipated in their dream state imagination, let alone awake, walking and talking reality, this 360 degree change was possible, no red flags when you met then wed no sirens alarmed, no fear or dread Only love and love, the subtle irritants and endearments will never be ' bones of contention '--NEVER !!! Love will smother and drown the discord and darkness Prevailing though all, that's what THEY say No matter the messes, distresses, irks and fires Then fewer caresses, and kisses, less to admire Those cute, little idiosyncrasies morph into major annoyances that drive you to the brink, then you think I use to love when he did....or said....how he dressed... how he said means things to me but said he was only joking... how he used to drink a little, now lots, and comments are meaner and obscene and then you found those insults were mainly hurled when others were around then home less and less, preferring to live at watering hole with friends and AL, the liquid pal <#> !! And so on and so on, crud and crap Losing ability to snap back, losing desire to get IT back Well, there you go, now you know The change, the rearrangement of emotional ecstasy to hate and disdain, fantasies of loving each other eternally now internally destroyed and decimated, way beyond decayed and rotten, any fragments of love and soul Gone, done, hate won, --- BUT---what could have been done different I tried, from minor, tiny changes to major ones, quite significant I really, honestly, wish that love conquered all But seems unrealistic and impossible, just a fantasy Beyond the imagination, eternal love and romance
