"I realized what true hate is today, did you know that?"

"Really? What is true hate?"

"It's when you think of someone or something that causes your body to shut down, tense up, and spasm all at once. They cause your teeth to grind, your bones to sting, and your veins to halt pumping blood through your body. Your heart shrivels up, and spits in disgust, and your stomach twists violently. "

"What got you to realize this?"

"Do you really wanna know?"

"Of coarse."

"This morning when we woke up and you wrapped your arms around me, and whispered, I love you."

So is this,
our last ballad?
Our love is,
an animal locked up.

Skin is cold,
room is quiet.
All we hold,
is our own hearts,
in our hands.

Do we feast or famine?
Do we unite,
or say goodbye?

Is there love here?
Enough to sustain?
Are you afraid dear,
that with the outcome will be pain?

Do we feast or famine?
Do we unite,
or say goodbye?
Do we fear the phantoms,
of our past?
We will crash,
and burn.
