Analysis of When You Hate Someone You Love
When you hate someone you love it is an inward spar.
Your heart and head spin around
until you feel bizarre.
When you hate someone you love it is a harsh tumult.
Your heart and head spin around
until you sense revolt.
When you hate someone you love it is a fretful scene.
Your heart and head spin around
until you fall unseen.
When you hate someone you love it is a sad affair.
Your heart and head spin around
until you know despair.
When you hate someone you love it is a mean discord.
Your heart and head spin around
until you find accord.
When you hate someone you love it is a sorry state.
Your heart and head spin around
until you stop debate.
