Best Lovehate Poems


Uncle LoveHate Beef

(Record scratch, a cool, jazzy beat drops - think late-night NYC)

Yo, lemme set the scene, the park bench, twilight's glow Yeah, she bad, I can't help but let it show He-he bad too, that's my reflection, lookin' fly With my boo, chillin' beneath the NYC sky White Castle spread, a feast fit for us two Fries dipped in vanilla, tell me what else to do? Cheesecake stick, for that sweet, perfect taste Old school love, no time to go to waste

She bad, like a fly chick in a movie scene, you see Smooth like silk, yeah, that’s my queen, you feel me? We bumpin’ old school, Amazon Music, gettin’ our vibe "U Send Me Swingin'" on repeat, keepin' us alive (Beat pauses slightly, a few bars of the "U Send Me Swingin" vocal sample play, then beat continues)

Yo, this ain't no fairy tale, this is real, you know The kind of love that makes your spirit grow Like a graffiti wall in Bushwick, bold and bright She got me feelin' like I'm baskin' in pure light We talkin' life, dreams, while the city hums No need for the fake, no sugar coated hums Just raw and real, beneath the moon's embrace This ain't no fling, this love I can't replace

She bad, that’s the truth no cap, she’s the type That makes a real man forget all the hype Like a bodega on a Saturday, always open She my everything, the way she keep it hopin’ We sippin' shakes, talkin’ ‘bout future plans My heart’s in her hands, like a sand in her hands Just laughin’ loud, no pretenses, just us This is timeless love, built on honest trust

He-he bad, yeah, I step with confidence, refined But with her by my side I leave my ego behind Flowin' smooth like the Hudson River at dawn She's the sunrise in my life, finally reborn So I pull her closer, feelin' that sweet sway Got me swingin' for that love, every single day We the illest couple, in this Concrete Jungle, it goes She got my heart swingin', every time she blows Me a kiss that is, my one and only boo That's why I keep it real, for me and you

(Beat fades out with layered vocal samples of "swingin'")

Premium Member Love, Hate and My Fate

In my quest of life sublime
I face a mountain I must climb

There dwells up inside of me
A growing amount of hostility

My anger is growing day by day
Regardless of the prayers I pray

Like two grinding tectonic plates
One is love and the other is hate

As the plates slowly grind away
Price of hate my love must pay

Like a beautiful exotic dance
Hate is held in dark romance

Like a lone mountain flower
Love shall hold mystic power

The two sides of a single face
Only one can rule this place

Off to hell fallen angels go
Is this the fate of my soul?

Is the meaning of this rhyme?
Bound by the hands of time

For all to hear and all to see
Love and hate each dwell in me

Love and hate each have their goal
I wonder, which shall win my soul

Miss You

I don't like it when we're apart
I so hate to be alone
I know you call  me every day
But It's not the same on the phone.

I hate to sleep here by myself
I prefer you next to me
For when you're lying next to me
I'm not afraid, no need to be.

The place feels empty without you
A gloomy tomb like space
It no longer feels like home
It needs your smiling face

I know this is just temporary
And I'm sure I will endure
But absence makes my heart grow fonder
So I just miss you all the more.


No Hero To My Heart

He opened the door
I did th sin
Against all wills
I let him in 
                            Chaining a heart
                            Choking the pulse
                            Robbing a life
                            3 crimes unfalse
                                                       Me,right here
                                                       Just the one to blame
                                                       "Dont hate the player
                                                        Hate the game"
                                                                                      He said he's changed
                                                                                      Said:"Never again"
                                                                                      Said i was important
                                                                                      Love for who i am
But my crimes Was nothing but letting my only pump in rape I just parked my life At the 
sidewalk today.

Troubled Bride

I hate seeing that lovely smile on your face
I hate the feeling I get in your warm embrace
I particularly don't like it when you kiss my hand
Just one of the many things about you i cant stand
I don't like when you do things for me 
I really hate it when you make my favorite cup of tea
I really don't like the sound of this loud dance band
But i must admit i really do love my wedding band.

Lover

her lips pressed to mine
her breath caressing my skin
a touch from her sweet hands 
I am lost in this joy
this love is greater than any I have felt before
she causes a smile 
the catching of my breath
our hands hold fast in the crowd
the people the turn and look
watch as two beautiful women pass
our love is pure
it is innocent of any anger
how can they hate
say that love is wrong
she is mine 
I am hers
we don't hate them for their love 
why do they hate ours


My Point of View

I wish you could see 
you from my eyes, my 
point of view, my soul 
dost subdue to the pain 
disguised as hate for 
the skies, my intellect 
lies, as thunder is heard 
and the eagle cries, for 
not all men are bred to 
puncture thy heart, i 
promise to mend and 
never choose part, or 
partake in reigning a 
brokenable heart, but 
rather look after it from 
the very start, so hate 
me not for words i may 
not heave, if the silver 
cord breaks i may have 
to leave, forever the 
tears forsaken to 
grieve, if you loved me 
back you'd know that 
i'll breathe.

Say

I hate to say
It must end this way
I used to believe
That i would never leave
I hate to say it but we must part
I really dont believe i am breaking your heart
You have tried to control my life
I have to say you wont be my wife
I must say its over
I hope this brings closer
We can still be best friends
A friendship i hope never ends

Return To Sender

Return to me like nothing is wrong 
Like time had no affect on me 
while you were gone so long
you thought it would just be that easy 

just to let you know 
thats not how it works 
our love can't grow
when hate stays and lurks

but the hate is your own doing
with no one to blame but yourself
so there is no way i am going
to help you drag your sins off the shelf

you will do it on your own
just like i had to do it on mine
imagine how this love could have grown
but you can just leave and know that the fault was not mine.

Love

love is the way out of anything 
but does anyone give a second thought
pain leads to love that never happens
love leads to pain that ended and doesn't begin
love has no meaning
but it has meaning to your heart
love has no time to go through
but time to grow love for someone 
love has a lover
but a lover that doesn't love you back
love is the opposite of hate
but hate is the cause of the love to end
love is you and the one you love
but the one you love grown to unlove you
love can be a part of a teens life
then they grown to hate and give up on love at the end of everything

Together

Like the desert and the sun
Like a bullet and a gun
Like promised things never done
We go together

Like a coffin and a grave
Like chains of iron and a slave
Like being scared and acting brave
We go together

Like a car crash and a scream
Like a drunkard and a dream
Like dirty nails and fraying seams
We go together.

Like the world of rich and poor
Like late night vomit in shop doors
Like the vice squad and the whores
We go together.

Like the winter and the cold
Like the bluffer and the fold
Like the word out and the word sold
We go together.

I love you and you hate me
You love me and I hate you
I guess there's nothing left to do
Let's go together.

Hatred of Love

I am repulsed by his obscure taste in music, 
Even his chauvinism of the female gender.
I loathe the obscene sexual statements, 
Along with his entire demeanor.

I can't stand his dry joking nature, 
Topped witha an arrogant, course laugh.
I detest the fact he thinks he’s so smart, 
Endlessly bragging about his A in Math.

I dread the stab he brings my swollen heart, 
When he spits remarks that would sting any bee.
I can’t bear when he knows he's in the wrong,
Then gives the look he always gives me.

I hate when he’s away, 
I hate when I’m near him.
I don't like his hair grown out, 
Or even when he gets a trim.

It disgusts me the way he Eats,
Drinks,
Or Breathes.
Repulsing me with his Eyes, 
Teeth, 
Mouth, 
And Nose.
I hate him all just the same,
From his head 
down 
to
his 
toes. 

I even hate the fact I hate him.
My repugnance no one will ever know.
My abomination for him makes no sense, 
For I really, truly love him so.

Game Called Love

Your eyes are your disguise
They're what makes me wan to come closer
They hide what's really inside
What is really inside?

The more I get to know you, the more I start to hate you
I thought you were different, but you're just the same
You're cheatin' at a game called love

When you said we'd be together 'till the very end
I should have known you were just playing make pretend
How could you do this to me?
Think of how happy we could've been
But instead I was in tears in the end

The more I get to know you, the more I start to hate you
I thought you were different, but you're just the same
You're cheatin' at a game called love

Now I'm just sittin' here
Thinking of all of the things I did for you
We would have been OK
If you hadn't pretended to be somebody else
You could have just been yourself
I'm sick and tired of guys like you
And everything you put me through
 
The more I get to know you, the more I start to hate you
I thought you were different, but ypu're just the same
You're cheating at a game called love

Well, the more I get to know you,the more I start to hate you
But, then I start to love you

The End

Hello, goodbye
Round and round we go
It's you, it's me
Oh will we ever know

We're up then we're down
It's love and it's hate 
We laugh then we cry
Are we to late?

I love the way we taste
I hate the way you feel
I chase so you run
With a kiss we do seal

Our emotions run high
Our thoughts at there prime
It's that to much?
Love is no crime

The curtains are falling
So honey don't pretend
We know what this is
So I'll confide in a friend

Like I said before
It's hello and goodbye
But when you said you loved me
That was one hell of a lie.

My Last Farewell

Before I Let You Go There's One Thing I
Need You To Know Your The Biggest Mistake
I Ever Made. So Consider This My Last Farewell.
Your Feeling Of Hate Is Now Mutual. I Hate Who
You've Become. I Hate The Things You've Done.
Now This World Is Just A Fkin Hateful Place , But You'll 
See Me With A Smile On My Face
