Antonym

When hate is love
When up is down
When hot is cold
When young is old
When boring is fun
When drunk is sober
When high is low
When wake is to sleep
When us is now her
But antonyms are sometimes needed
Because hate needs love
Because up needs down
Because hot needs cold
Because young needs old 
Because boring needs fun
Because high needs low
Because wake needs to sleep
Because you thought you were over her
But I knew you weren’t 
We were just antonyms
You were the cheat to my loyalty

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
