Love to Hate

Love to Hate
by Elizabeth Hernandez

Two entities, bound together by fate,
Exchange their venoms in a daily fit.
Entwined in the affairs of love and hate,
Their emotions weaved within flaming pits.
Anguish, an emotional ball and chain,
Plagues the lovers as they ponder their deeds.
And, as a mother scorns her child in vain,
So do they file punishment as a need.
But, as they reconcile, they realize
Intense passion is what drives their beings;
And in this sense, the two are indeed wise,
Passion, by pain, turns twofold amazing.
Ardor intertwined with loathing won’t fade,
As love and hate are two sides of one blade.
