Fan Fiction ❯ Medley Of Poems ❯ Love, Hate, Death ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Love, you're ever cheerful, though you cause people great sorrow.

You wrap them in your arms to comfort,

But sometimes slowly creep to their necks to choke them.

They look to you for happiness and some do find it in you.

They follow you with blind faith, though you lead them in circles.

Some look at you with scorn,

Wishing they could hurt you as you, yourself, have hurt them.

They are your toys, but you don't care if you break them.

Many more will come to you even though the pain you cause is great.

You do get all the joy, but share it with your sister, Hate.

She toys with them like you do, taking great care in how she does it.

She starts by making them go against friends and family.

She then leads them to scorn bigger things,

Other people they don't know, government and even society in general.

She has them do things for her that she can't do,

Killing, murdering, causing pain on their own.

Then it's your brother, Death's, turn to play.

He collects the souls of those who follow Hate have killed,

And picks up the tortured souls of those that couldn't get happiness from you.

You three are a family,

Taking joy from the pain and sorrow you create.
