The hate
it comes in waves
you think that’s all there is
there’s more…
Underneath the hate
is a love aching to be healed
able to love again
deeply better next time
I buried my love for you
you pushed it deeper
and away from sight
waiting for a rebirth
Is it possible to love again
after so much pain
will I choose it
or continue with my hate
Achingly slow is the healing process
one justified reason after another
makes me take my time
to resolve this pain
