Living for Hate; Dying in Love

I live my life because I hate. I lose my purpose when introduced to love.

Living for Hate; Dying in Love

I live to see the ones who wronged me fall

I die to be in your loving arms

I breathe to see those suffer

But, I wish to be your lover

----

I don’t want to let go of my hate

But, I want you to stay

I don’t want to live bitter

Because you are too sweet

I don’t want to give up my goals

But, it’s necessary for us to grow

----

Am I changing for the better?

Sacrificing my dreams;

The things I works hard to accomplish

Some say I’m living a vain life

However, I don’t feel that way

----

Hate is a strong emotion

Such as love

And I am tied between the two

I wish to find a balance

So me and you can have peace

I wish for you not to be hateful like me

And I wish to be just as loving as you are

----

I don’t deserve this love

And you don’t deserve to be around hate
