Love and hate Both require devotion, more than enough to challenge fate Both known to be used as a powerful bait The realization of either can often land a dollar short or a day late Both can rear their ugly heads at first sight, on the first date What one is the strongest trait? Disney shows one over the other but if you were to look into it further you might see the actual history reveals it's no checkmate What one will ruin your life faster is up for debate Obviously not a hot take Show me someone saying only one of 'em can make your life great And I'll direct you straight to a liar just trying to narrate some amateur bs to placate To hide the primate, trying illustrate the opposite of it's namesake Investing in either one, one over the other puts a lot at stake And don't be fooled Both love and hate will walk hand in hand with you to heartache I can't sit here and say I hate to love nor do I love to hate Just forced to live the second half with no heart to break The phrase make it or break it plays seconds before I notice I broke what I made... ...once again... ...for **** sake ©2024
