One of Love, One of Hate

One deity was cursed to adore everything,

Even things others would loathe

Murder, corruption, hate

This deity basked in it all,

For she had no other choice

She was born to accept it all,

Arms wide open in welcome

She was forced

To be a goddess of love

Another deity was made to despise everything

Even things others would adore

Laughter, joy, happiness

This deity couldn’t see the appeal,

For upon her birth,

She was designed to dread it all,

Arms crossed tightly in warning

She was forced

To be a goddess of hate

These two seemingly opposite deities

Shared one defining commonality

After years of stilted words,

Buried emotions,

Repressed thoughts,

Both were dissatisfied

With the lives

They were destined to lead

Empty and numb,

They had no other choice

Than to soldier on

So the two deities reigned

Just as always,

The concept of true happiness

Forever eluding them
