Love and Hate

In the silence of the fallout Where our promises burned bright I still hear your echo calling Through the wreckage of the night Every word we threw like daggers Every scar we left to bleed Now the ghosts of what we shattered Are the chains around me You said forever but you meant goodbye! I felt the venom in your lullaby! Every lie like a blade in my chest— Now I’m choking on the truth you left! We were fire in a hurricane, Two hearts drowning in the acid rain! Love turned poison in our veins— Now we’re screaming through the pain! But beneath the ashes A spark still remains Through the hatred and the damage I’m calling your name Love and hate in the same heartbeat We’re bleeding but we won’t retreat Through the fire, through the scars we made Maybe we can rise from the hate If redemption lives in broken souls If forgiveness can make us whole Then I’ll crawl through the dark again Just to find you in the end Break! Tear! Burn it down! Hear the thunder of the battleground! Every memory screaming loud— In the ruins of what we found! You were the storm in my lungs I was the war on your tongue Two blades under the same sun Still fighting for what we’ve become! HATE! — tearing through my veins! LOVE! — buried in the pain! WE! — built this hell ourselves! NOW! — we rise or burn again! If I could rewind the violence Undo every word I said I would build a bridge from sorrow Over everything that’s dead Love and hate in the same heartbeat We’re bleeding but we won’t retreat Through the fire, through the scars we made We’ll be more than the mess we became If redemption lives in broken souls If forgiveness can make us whole Then I’ll crawl through the dark again Just to find you in the end From the ashes… We rise again… Or burn… together…
