Monosyllabic

Hate
How is such a short word
So powerful

Love
Another tiny word
With strong emotions

So close to one another
It is terrifying

They share the same amount of characters
Both are monosyllabic
Tended to be used in a rush

Long remembered
Easily forgotten
Used in truth
Placed in guile

Chose carefully how you use them
They will come back and haunt you.
