Suspicious glances, snarled welcome
Cold whispers muttered behind turned backs
One minute two are sworn enemies
Foes to the dying day
But in one moment
Loyalties are formed, prejudices are shattered
The ‘no man’s’ land is claimed
And opposing camps become allies
There is a thin line between love and hate
Yesterday bitter words passed to and fro
Igniting fires of malice and revenge
In hearts charred and scarred by gangrenous hate
Heartfelt exchanges made the rounds
Touching raw nerves and reopening wounds
But today’s sun lit up the horizon
Scorching the remnants of yesterday’s mission to avenge
Lovingly illuminating the bond of friendships formed
And strengthening allegiances forged
There is a thin line between love and hate
Foes we were yesterday
Friends we are today
Enemies we were sworn but as lovers we start this day
It’s funny how yesterday bitter memories had
Yet today has a perfume sweeter than that of spring roses
And in our hearts a melodious duet can be heard
That far surpasses all penned choruses
It’s true then that there is a thin line between love and hate
