Hard to determine
Emotions of love or hate
So close together

Both are very strong
Emotions like no others
Completely rule lives

Only memories
When love is dead
Heartache not so real

Can get on with life
Once old love is dead and gone
New love can come in

With new love will be
Feelings of joy, happiness
We hope  FOREVER

Nan, you're right......
It's sad when a person has lost all feeling from being
so hurt in past relationships.


BTW, when are you going to post another poem? I've
been looking.....

Ethel - very good write. Reminds me of that song by the Pretenders..."It's Thin Line Between Love & Hate. It really is. Chris

that perches in the soul....

Hope,
So true. Thank you...

Chris,
Thanks for your reply. I love the Pretenders.
That's what I was thinking of when I wrote this...
"the thin line between love and hate".....

Your right Ethel...emotions do rule our lives.  Make more room for the good ones, and  maybe the bad ones will suffocate.

Salty, that's a very good thought. The good will then
outweigh the bad, hopefully. Thanks...

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, this is so very sad but true, Joanna used to love me so much and now it feels like she feels the opposite for me and she won't even talk with me as if she is pretending she never knew me, and that strange predicament I'm in makes me feel I'm heading for a breakdown and I know I'm right! (sad sigh) I hope this love is forever as you and Gary deserve so much to be together forever, I'm rooting for you both, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh, Noah...I honestly don't know what to say. I'm
SOOOO  sad about your situation with
Joanna, friend. I do hope that you will soon be feeling better.
You know, Noah, people like me and you, (and some others
I've met here), put everything they have into their
relationships. Not everyone is capable of doing that, friend,
so I don't think that they try as hard to make the
relationship work. Maybe it really is because they
can't give their whole heart the way we do. I don't know....
I just hope that things are better for you real soon...

Think I'd take love or hate over indifference anyday.  Enjoyed this Ethel.

Duncan, I'm glad that I opened up my heart for love again.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have met the Love of my Life.....
a greater love than I've ever experienced.

Thanks for replying...

I think love and hate sometimes go hand in hand, I remember the man I loved the most, I also hated him the most, for he had the power to make me or break me, and he knew it, and wasn't above jerking me on his string....see what I mean?  I loved him for all he once was, but I hated him for what he never aspired to be.  Great read, totally enjoyed!

i think this is deja vu, because i think i just posted it, but again,

it is a fine line,
ive been known to throw things out of anger at the people i love the most, if i dont ever utter a harsh word to someone im involved with, then i probably just like them, not love them, if even that

Leona,
I think we sometimes think we hate someone, when it's really still love.
Thanks for reading and replying.


Michelle,
Yeah, love is crazy sometimes, isn't it?
Thanks.....

Thanks......

Bill,
I know. Sometimes it's hard for people to know the
difference when they're having difficulties in a relationship....

Ethel,

Duncan is so right. Indifference hurts most, too, when one still loves or hates someone.

Sounds like you've grown a lot and understand much about love and life.
I wish you and Gary every bit of forever love and happiness.

Hugs, Pat

Pat,
it has taken a lot of mistakes and wrong choices to make
me know what I know now. I have hurt and been hurt, both,
in love and life. I tried to learn from my mistakes, though.
I don't think that a person ever stops learning in
this life. It's an on-going process.

Thank you so much for your well wishes for me and Gary. I
feel that God is working this very minute for us.
