You knew I loved you, but now I hate you because of the Mountain of Differences that we have encountered together. I loved you for many reasons, but now I hate you for only one reason. I hate you because of the Mountain of Differences. Together we tried to overcome those odds, and we believed that it would only take Love to conquer them. But Time proved to be our enemy. And the Mountain of Differences just grew bigger. Why oh why must it be this way. Why oh why must it hurt this way? Why oh why my I hate you for hurting me? The Mountain of Differences drove us apart. All we had was Love, now it's Hate and the Mountain. |

Don't you realize the pain I hold, in my arms, so ever bold. Don't you realize what you put me trough, when you said there's nothing left to do. Don't you realize, my hopes and dreams, were tworn away be your dismeans. Don't you realize the true me, the one that you never did see. Don't you realize through all the years, I have cried many tears. Don't you realize for what it's worth, I have loved you since my birth. Don't you realize what's before you, what I say, won't come before you. I have one last thing to say, I love you, in every way! |

I like the concept I find myself worn out by the hate and pain the mountain of differences seems to be built with. It might be interesting to see this expanded by using different stone to describe the differences and feelings? Hate like granite although I never really care to see or hear the word hate . Untrust like layers of slate building up yet able to be easily chipped away by the strong weathers of Love and honesty. WELCOME! Keep up the good work. |

Sounds bitter. But differences sometimes override love and all you have left is that bittersweet feeling that may sour into something more. But that mountain can be climbed! Just need patience, love, and a whole lot of trust in the climbing utilities. Nice poem, but please, I can see that you have the talent, but just a little more with a better format.

First off, welcome! Second, I liked the poem and I can relate to it. It was a good poem but (in my pinion)might be in need of some structural reformating. Such as: You knew I loved you, but now I hate you Because of the Mountain of Differences, that we have encountered together. I loved you for many reasons, but now I hate you for only one reason. I hate you, because of the Mountain of Differences. Together we tried to overcome those odds, and we believed, that it would only take Love to conquer them. But Time proved to be our enemy. And the Mountain of Differences just grew bigger. Why oh why must it be this way. Why oh why must it hurt this way? Why oh why my I hate you for hurting me? The Mountain of Differences drove us apart. All we had was Love, now it's Hate and the Mountain. -- Just a thought, take it for what its worth. Godd poem, and welcome! Crystal "The worst of what people do to one another is deceive. Because when you love someone you control their version of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact, not their true situation at all." It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence. Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen. I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits. |

Reminds of that thin line they say between love and hate. With two individuals, there will always be differences. The strength of a relationship, I think, is the ability and patience to work through the differences. I have found that the first ingredient of a relationshiop is acceptance. We can't change people and we shouldn't try to change anyone but ourselves. Excuse me for rambling. Hope some of this makes sense. Welcome to passions. |

i'll have to say firstly that i loved the content of the piece, then i'll have to say that is it what i believe to be dire need of structural reformation. the current form of the poem read more like a piece of prose than poetry (not to say it's not a good piece). oh and emptyness, john lennon was right..."all you need is love" |
