Equal Intensity

Love and hate.
Equally intense.
Yet polar opposites.
Divided by a fine line
that doesn't take
long to cross.
A single sentence
can pull the trigger
of resentment
causing emotions
to spill over
the other side.

  1. ooo ... quite like this. I reckon love and hate are polar opposites but not each other's opposite. I reckon the opposite of love is disinterest. I reckon the opposite of hate is disinterest. But the opposite of love is not hate. I do agree that both love and hate are capable of an equal intensity. Think of them as a seesaw, with love at one end, hate at the other end all balanced on the fulcrum of disinterest.
