Analysis of Hate
Love is gamble
Love is fate
Why do we always love the one
We should hate?
The one who hurt us
Made us cry.
Made us ask
What did I do, why?
The one who let us down
Made us feel worthless?
When we should have felt
Like we were wearing a crown?
A thin line, it's there
Between love and hate.
But sometimes it feels like
A locked gate
We try to cross it
Think we should
Hate the one we love
I thought I could
