Love Hate

Of all the emotions a person can feel,

Love is scariest and hardest to heal.

Excitement and mystery impossible to resist.

Promises of magic perpetually persist.

We long for a connection that is as strong as it is true,

But love always does as love wants to do,

So to the emotion of love, I just want to say,

I'm much better off without you; I'm glad you went away,

'Cause I'd much rather live with a heart that can sing,

A smile that struggles to be more than a grin.

I might not be happy, but at least I'm not sad,

Holding onto happiness that I never had,

Love's an impostor, a thief in the night,

Reduces flames to embers that no longer burn bright.

Love captains your emotions and steers your fate.

Love is the only emotion that I truly hate.
