Passion, Love, Heartache and Hatred

Why is it you want to write of passion heartache and pain?
You want to find out how it changed to hatred that’s insane.
Love is something that cannot be taken likely or played with
It’s not the same kind of love you experienced from birth

But this lustful drive that causes whirlwinds of emotions,
And the betrayal of yourself by tongue confessing devotions.
One says things they don’t mean in order to get what they want
Passion driven by falsifying one’s intentions, so to speak, a front.

Exchanging hearts as tokens of committed unfailing love
One real, one stone, proclaimed from the roof tops above
This is how they come together and their love stamped with a seal
But the imbalance of true commitment and love will reveal

When both hearts are broken one real, one stone, one bleeds one won’t
Heartache infused with pain comes hatred, a  revenge full antidote.
How can one measure hatred originated from love 
By the death of the cause which they are not worthy of….

Gee, Sidney, we were on the same page tonight. Your poem has many of the same emotions as the one I just posted. Relationships are so confusing that I'm about to give up on them. Can't be worth the heartache. Genuinely moving poem. Love, Carolyn
