perhaps i'm learning just in time
before it is too late
the reason i try to Love so much
is to counteract my Hate
for Hate must have a balance
more than any other feeling
lest it take you on a downward plunge
with the life it's ever stealing
but Love can only go so far
and that's a crying shame
i've learned how both can be much worse
when they become one and the same
