Love and Hate!

by Janice Johnson

Is it really suppose to be this way, All this Love and Hate should I say? Did you read this poem and see the word hate, Started all over like hold on wait? You’ve always been the love of my life Can’t wait until the day that I become your wife. Now is the time that I say, you are the man that I Love and Hate! Impossible for us to be soul mates. Never want to let you go You are the only man that I want to know! I let you poison my heart with discomfort and pain, You’re trying to make it better, but I kind of feel the same. I couldn’t take being away from your lovely smile That’s why all that I feel is worth its while! I do deserve better. But to you, does that matter? I do love you boy, For you will always be mine and more! And as for all this Love and Hate, Everyday my heart contemplates.

I think it's really interesting that you chose to capitalize the words "Love" and "Hate" because you made it seem as if these were more than ideas, but almost as if they were people that you had to battle with. This made the poem very powerful, nice job!
