I hate love… yes, I hate love
I hate its secretive, weasel ways
How it maneuvers its way into a soul
Without asking,
And quickly takes its toll

It takes so little for it to happen
We don’t have to ask, or beg for love
That smile, that unexpected kiss
Can bring joy, can bring bliss
We really should give love a miss

I hate love…the hurt and pain it brings
The splinters that pierce a loving heart
The aching pain that tears us apart
Leaving us to cry alone in the dark

I hate love…I think I’m a sadist
I keep falling in love, again and again
Only to end up being brushed aside
When starting to enjoy the ride

It takes so little for love to happen
Just another person on the same path
That smile, that unexpected kiss
Can bring joy, can bring bliss
We really should give love a miss.
