Ambivalence

What once was true love, has now become vengeance,
 we love each other better from a distance. 
Pride married Foolish, they begot Vanity,
 A sorceress who invented insanity. 
Under her spell, Foolish turned Pride to dust,
 a backfiring spell creating such as: Lust.
 Karma was born, she was Hope's ugly cousin, 
Faith walked with angels, Love and Joy was one. 
Then Love and Pain, they united you see, 
Pain cast a spell and became Hate magically.
 But Love was patient and Love was surely kind 
Forcing Hate to strike a curse on her making her blind.
 Peace came to help her in the form of a dove, 
crept up on Hate, and turned the lights on for Love! 
now Hate was stumbling and tripping in the dark; 
crying out for Love with all of his cold bitter heart.  
she pleaded for him to come into the light; 
he replied, "Come here my love and all will be right."
Falling from wisdom into dreams he had weaved,
Drunk and blind again easily she was decieved.
Now here she was again tripping into ditches, and stumbling over boulders, 
led by the same one who had her looking over her shoulders.
 No direction, no ending, living a pointless life of no sense; 
Love and Hate did come to be withchild, and gave birth to Ambivalence.  
 Now she's born as a new breed and she multplies like wild weeds and flowers; 
Like a sourpatch kid contrary..sweetest is her start..and she only becomes more sour 
 forevermore she is a bittersweet, perfect, legal crime..
 Alas the essence of Ambivalence is to love and hate at the same time. 
drunk and blind folded; she was again easily decieved. 
Now here she was again tripping into ditches, and over limbs & boulders, 
led by the same one who had her looking over her shoulders.
 No direction, no ending, living life free from innocence and entirely with no sense; 
they became withchild, Love and Hate, and gave birth to Ambivalence.  
 Now she's born as a new breed and she multplies like wild weeds and flowers; 
Like a sourpatch kid contrary..sweetest is her start..and she only becomes more sour 
 forevermore she is a bittersweet, perfect, legal crime..
 Alas the essence of Ambivalence is to love and hate at the same time.
