Everything we have always shared

As siblings so often tend to do

The seed of our father

The womb of our mother

Together we woke and together we grew

We shared the day we came to be

In screams of pain we both were birthed

Alike from the start

And yet so far apart

For my sister, she was born the first

They named her Love and what a child indeed

The name really suited her well

An angel was she

It was different with me

For I made their lives a living hell

I always knew I was wanted the least

Though Mother often pulled me aside

“Hatred,” said she

“You’re both equal to me”

But I was not to be fooled by her lies

My sister the best first impressions made

By people she was always adored

Wherever I were

They would ask for her

Otherwise I was often ignored

We are so alike and yet different at once

But Love is the one they prefer

They want only she

But cannot escape me

For I am a product of her

I wanted to leave, people wished for it too

I quickly grew angry and dark

Though they yearned for Love bright

I would stay out of spite

On my journey of rage I embarked

Because of her goodness, her smile and her laugh

My sister will often be used

And my envy despite

For her I will fight

Fuck with Love, and you fuck with me too

So wherever Love went I would follow along

To tease those who would not treat us right

When they thought she would care

I would jump out to scare

And they’d run fast away in a fright

Sisters we are and as close as can be

I’ll be there if you dare do her wrong

If for Love you wish

You must accept the risk

That Hatred will follow along
