The Feeling: Love

The children play their games,

enjoying themselves to the full,

While I stay here working.

My mind is full

Not of the enjoyment they feel

But of the intensity of work.

But my labours are compensated by something that they do not have.

LOVE

 

The Feeling: Hate

 

The children lose their hearts,

Wondering where they went,

While I stay here thinking.

My mind is full,

Full of the sorrow they feel

Seeing their thoughts

For I, who once had loved

Now find myself steeped in

HATE
