Love's reverse is not hate
For hate will animate.
The real opposite is Apathy
- the absence of sympathy.
To recover from willful apathy
means filling and finding me.
I wanted to make a fire of hate
And dance beside it and wait.
But such a blaze needs me to burn
to give wood of my soul for such spurn.
My ability to love is not drained
only my heart tripped and sprained.
I feared it was broken and through
Because I had so entrusted you.
Limping now I am healing
and so glad to find some feeling.
So goodbye to you and the void
elsewhere I shall seek to be overjoyed.
For you (and us) I feel grief
and in memories, some relief.
I have been in love and will again.
I forgive you and there is no rhyme.
clumsy I know but I wanted to get this out.
