2. The Hate Won't Die

The Hate Won't Die

My hate for him isn't dying,

As you stand by my side crying,

When will the hate die?

It cripples me so I can't forget,

The times of sorrow and much regret,

When will the hate die?

When he made me his slave,

Is the moment this hate craves,

When will the hate die?

If it takes that painful time,

I'll die consumed with hate and lies,

When will the hate die?

I can't let it have the days,

That the hate so dearly craves,

When will the hate die?

I feel it starting to consume me,

I can't let it take the memory,

When will the hate die?

I feel the hate burning in my heart,

I know that there is no hiding this part,

When will the hate die?

So I simply let the hate go,

I mustn't die hating, this I know,

When will the hate die?

I feel control again,

Of my cruel emotion,

When will the hate die?

Yet even as I let it go,

There is one thing that I know,

The hate won't die.
