The Opposite of Love
One day you will be asked
To define the opposite of love
And your answer to that question
Will determine whatever happens next
If you say hate it means
You have to hold on
To some of your hatred
To remember what love is
Which is why even jesus
Isn’t allowed to forgive the devil.
If you say nothingness
It means that love is the impetus
For everything that exists
Which makes a goddess of love
Who spreads her wings
And demands the universe manifest.
When everything comes from love
All that’s left to claim is an emptiness
Estranged from even the deepest despair.
Whichever one you choose
Don’t ever forget it because
Every time love is missed or lost
Or outright rejected
The other side of the ledger
Must be balanced—
Either hate increases
Or the universe shrinks
To the size of the very first thing.
