Why

Why do we do these things?
We know it hurts one another.
I love you more than anything,
and you say you feel the same.
So why do we intentionally
cause each other pain?
We don't have to be like this.
I know we can get along.
So why do we hurt each other
purely out of spite?
How did we come to believe
that the only way to love
is to hate?
