Antarctic

Love is sadness
    and clammy sick grief
Anguish and pain
    can't get relief
Love is badness
Love is madness
Love is sadness

Love is anger
    And white-hot hate
Cannot forgive you
    It is too late
Bash and maim!
Hurt and kill!
Love is anger

Love is destruction
    Wreck everthing in sight
Break the foundation
    Put out the light
Burn all bridges
Extinguish all hope
Love is destruction

Love is release
    After the pain
Slice the wrist
    Blow out the brain
Jump in front of
A speeding train
Love is release

Robbie Hatley, Friday April 10, 1998


Like my poem "Arctic", I wrote this in about 10 min, while sitting at one of those little tables against the south wall of the dining room of Burger King in Larwin Square in Tustin, CA, around 8AM on the morning of Fri. Apr. 10, 1998. I was in a truly psychotic mood when I wrote this, and the gateway between my concious mind and the darkest reaches of my subconscious mind opened wide.

Wheras "Arctic" is about the lonliness of Loving what you can't have, "Antarctic" is about the jealousy, anger, blind rage, hate, homicide, and suicide which can arise from love affairs gone wrong.

Needless to say, this poem is psychologically toxic, and not for anyone who already has tendencies toward violence or suicide. That is why I put a pre-load warning detainment on this file.
