Love/Hate

How can you hate someone-
that you love so very much?..
Are you afraid they'll hurt you?
Are you afraid to trust?

They tell you you're their everything....
They show how much they care-
But no matter how hard they try
You never treat them fair...

You slowly hurt them-
By the little things you say and do...
You keep on pushing them-
Until they say they're through..

Why must you blame them-
for something an old love has done?
Why cant you put down your shield-
and have alil' fun?..

Try not to be so scared...
show them that you care-
They may get tired of waiting...
They may not always be their..
