Hate

and hate there was

and is,

on my mind this time.

again

i have hate to hate.

Perhaps there will not be a gift of love,

So be it !

but even still, 

once again ...i try and send 

and defend and 

begin again 

to send

to you a gift 

That is meant to be 

the best until the end of time.

That is,

i mean to say that if there is not one 

person who will unwrap my gift,

then how can any ..., 

Or many, 

Choose me?

That is a hate,

i hate having to live.

Love is a Gift!
