Love & Hate

Love’s a fire, burning bright, but damn, it stings,

Every kiss a sweet delight, but laced with rings,

Golden halos turn to chains, I can’t escape,

Every whisper feels like flames—love’s a twisted shape.

I crave the warmth, but fear the burn,

Every lesson’s one I never learn,

Holding close, then pushing far,

Hearts collide, but leave a scar.

I love it, I hate it, I want it, I break it,

It’s sugar and poison, I just can’t shake it,

Give me forever, then tear it apart,

Love is a dagger that cuts through my heart.

Damn, I’m addicted, conflicted, afflicted,

Every "I miss you" feels scripted, restricted,

Love ain't a blessing, it’s messing my mind,

Got me caught up like I’m running out of time.

Text me at midnight, then leave me on read,

Mess with my heart, then you mess with my head,

Said it was real, now it’s dust in the air,

Love is a gamble, and life isn’t fair.

Tell me why I keep running back,

Chasing shadows, heart attack,

Know it’s wrong, but damn, it’s right,

Love’s a war, but I crave the fight.

I love it, I hate it, I want it, I break it,

It’s sugar and poison, I just can’t shake it,

Give me forever, then tear it apart,

Love is a dagger that cuts through my heart.

Ayo, tell me what’s real, is it love or a game?

We’re dancing on fire, but who takes the blame?

You tell me you need me, then ghost me like that,

Cupid’s a liar, his arrows are traps.

Passion is reckless, but silence is cold,

We play like we're fearless, but fear takes its toll,

I want it, I need it, I push it away,

Love is a monster I fight every day.

So kiss me, kill me, thrill me, chill me,

Wrap me up just to watch me unravel,

Love’s a road with no direction,

I’m just lost inside affection.
