Multiple haikus that I find touching.
1. The One Cure
The Lover:
My heart is too soft,
I have compassion for all,
My heart is too hard.

My heart is too strong,
I can't resist loving all,
My heart is too hard.

The Reply:
Hate is a cancer,
A tumor that grows so fast,
It stops the beating.

Love is the one cure,
Lest you become the undead,
Only longing to die.

The Lover:
I have no disease,
But it travels in the air,
And people fear it.

Not incurable,
But I will take my disease,
The cure is horrid.

The Reply:
You speak only truth,
It is a catching disease,
It is the One Cure.
