The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Hate is a powerful emotion that

Once felt is hard to let go

 

I felt it once

Twisting inside me

Consuming my soul

But I no longer have the capacity to hate

It gives you too much credit

And so I let it go

 

There once was a time when

I loved you

And when your façade shattered

Revealing the lie underneath

I hated you

Because of the image I just couldn’t see

 

And I walked away

Shattered, and broken, and weak

Down the twisted path of solitude

Rebuilding my life, and my strength

But I could never be whole

 

And so my step faltered

My hatred towards you became

Too heavy a burden to bear

I could feel it changing me into

Everything you had been

 

And so I dropped it

Although it didn’t want to let go

I left it behind me

And while I’ll never forget what you did

I won’t remember it either

 

You’re just not worth the hate anymore

Hate is a serpent which seeps venom,

Always most damaging to the self.

The target walks free, unscathed,

Even as the serpent twists,

In pain from its own poisons.

Love for me never lets me free;

Eternally I am vulnerable in my heart.

There-in lies the rub you see -

I find that love is not enough.

That a relationship needs balance and flow.

Given that relationships end in reality,

Obviously I must take my pain, and

 

Hurt. I let it go.
