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
