Love Is The End

A contest entry.

Passion, hate, and love’s disguise
Seen through one’s internal eyes
Leads only to a dreary end
In which you lose your only friend

Your grief for others, not yourself
Got you taken off the shelf
And now you see the real surprise
Too late to make a last demise

A death inside a lonely heart
That tears a happy world apart
Leaves love to shrivel up and die
And the strongest of them all will cry

One love lost is one love gained
One man’s passion, unrestrained
It’s better just to thrive on hate
Love is where you meet your fate

Love is the end
