Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Love and Hate

Love
Is not
Blind as it
Opens the eyes
of both lovers to
The realities and make
Them succumb to each other's
Flaws, mistakes, and imperfections
By embracing it with all their hearts
And slowly find a way to make amends.
Yet most of the times, having too much love
Tantamount to being possessive
That often strangles the other
Partner and lead her find ways
To flee from your choking
Grip and that in turn
Will bring sorrow,
Sadness, grief,
Pain, and
Hate
