Analysis of When Love Turns to Hate



When love turns to hate it is a very scary place,
Your palms are sweaty, you cannot focus, your heart begins to race.

You think about this  person all the time, you get flustered and flushed
You are consumed with thoughts about them your adrenalines a rush.

You plan, you skeem, you execute this nessecary thrill
You loose your inhibitions, your train of thought, and your will.

It's like a game of cat and mouse, a game you have to win.
You become another person, someone lost deep within.

When love turns to hate, its a feeling you cannot pretend.
Because now you dont know if this poem is about being in LOVE or REVENGE.
