Poetry: A thin line between love and hate

by JCW

Created on: February 16, 2009   Last Updated: February 25, 2009

It's almost like you fill up a needle

And inject it into my veins

You stimulate my mind ,my body

And temporarily release my pain

Like an addict fiends for their fix

and their drugs become obsessions

I pursue a lost cause and

I fiend for you affection

Something about this love

Has me wanting more

Yet the more I get I'm discontent

Because it fails to grasp what's in the core

We scream at each other

words we wish we don't comprehend

We cling on like bloodsucking leeches

to this relationship that won't bend

I try to understand the purpose

Of a love so complex

But questions are left unanswered

and arguments settled with sex

Pulling false alarms

become grudgingly accustomed

but I pray these false alarms

is all that it becomes

I want to start over

and hope you'll meet me halfway

This time we'll burn down the walls

around us that we've built and displayed

We have something unusual

Almost as rare as soul mates

So how about this time around we erase

that thin line between love and hate.
