In the depths of passion's flame, love once burned,
A struggle fierce, a dance of souls concerned.
Fragments of affection, scattered in despair,
We grasped at fleeting moments, gasping for air.

But oh, how hate disguised itself as love,
A venomous serpent, coiled and unseen from above.
Together we vowed, forever and always,
Yet darkness seeped through, a haunting malaise.

The battles waged within, hearts torn in two,
The sweetness of love had turned bitter, askew.
Embraces turned to clenched fists, whispers to screams,
We fought through the night, lost in shattered dreams.

Yet through the chaos, a glimmer of hope,
A reminder of the love that helped us cope.
For love, though fragmented, still lingered on,
A faint ember burning, not easily withdrawn.

In the wreckage, we found strength to rebuild,
To mend the broken pieces, the pain we willed.
For love, in its essence, is resilient, strong,
It endures through hardships, rights every wrong.

So let us embrace the struggle, hold love tight,
Unmask the hate that hides in the dead of night.
Together forever, always we'll strive,
To conquer the darkness, keep our love alive.
