Can love like hate?

It needs some help,

Some venom in the bloodstream

Roiling through the mainstream

To the heart's darkest chambers.

There, with enough sizzle and boil,

Hate's ugly shape can mold,

Cozying up to love like heat

From the thinly veiled lines

Etched by the rhetoric of power.

Nothing destroys love like hate.

Nothing destroys us like hate.

Like, Love, Live.

Live like love.
