I didn't know


I DIDN'T KNOW

 

I didn't know hate has a twin sister

She makes hearts pump twice faster

 

I didn't know that she actually existed

She makes sadness and anger unrealistic

 

I didn't know she makes happiness a common visitor

She makes your mind into your heart’s prisoner

 

I didn't know that she won't leave even if you beg

She’ll stay like an ugly scar or a stain from an egg

 

I didn’t know that she could make you insane

She’ll make you accept her even if it’s not with a feeling of fain

 

I didn’t know that she proudly holds your personality’s hand

She’ll make you ask for attention and affection in a demand

 

I didn’t know that sympathy is her brother

She’ll make you need her like you need the sweet words from your mother

 

I didn’t know she makes women into perfect mothers

She is called love by you but amour by others

 

I didn’t know her until I met you
