Its the tugging and pulling
and the stretching, the godforsaken stretching
the molding and planning
and giving and giving
the sweating and praying
the hoping and dying
the mercy and gestures
the pain and the pressure
the weakness and frailty and
insecurity and constant second guessing
that make me hate love, tonight.
