-A Thin Line- by Sean Brown

It’s impossible for Love to become Hate.
Well, Real & actual Love, that is.
See, Love is not dependent on whether another performs certain deeds,
Acts in an approved manner, nor returns the same level of depth one expects to see.
It’s selflessly unconditional & needing only to give,
To be expressed is its own reward because it’s not about show biz.
Now, possessiveness & desire,
The need to own & be validated by someone else’s fire;
These are the feelings that root deep & germinate,
Nourished by fear & the ego, they easily blossom into hate.
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Mine, Mine;
This mentality’s mistaken for Love everyday, sadly it happens all the time.
Attraction is not enough, for it’s only temporary & forever changing,
Lust can light a blaze which sets the highest mountain top flaming.
So, while it can bring life, it just as easily destroys, burning a home down to the ground.
That’s the thrilling danger that can rage for miles & miles around.
Never confuse the 2 ‘less You wind up playing the fool,
Love & hate are worlds apart, the thin line between is a wall that’s indestructible.
If You don’t believe this truism just check, “Who do You LOVE?”…Why?
As You answer, it becomes clearer that Love is a Connection which will never die.
It’s a Bond Eternal surpassing standards of time & clime.
To Love is divinely inherent within Us all,
While hatred is a learned behavior & the cause of Man’s Fall!
