Opposite

Love is not patient
Love is not kind
So whoever came up with that
Must have been out of their mind

Love does envy
And gets jealous too
If you didn't know
Well, now you do

Love boasts
And is very proud
It's rude 
And is very loud

Love seeks for itself 
And gets mad fast
It keeps records
Of wrongs done in the past

Love delights in evil
And wishes you to fail
It wants you to go through
The fire, rain, and hail

Love likes lies
And keeps no one safe
It trusts no one
And has no faith

Love doesn't hope
And will not persevere
Love doubts
And always fears
