50%

50% Love from each is all we get,
In return we give 50% regret.
A very fine line they say,
Between love and hate each day.
Happiness and anger,
All the hurt and pain,
Sickness and heartaches,
Tell me what do we gain.
50% is that what we work for,
To watch one walk out the door.
50% loneliness and nothing more,
All from two that once did adore,
Give it your all
Give it more than 110%
 Live happy in love forever,
That’s how it’s meant.
Life is only today,
Tomorrow’s it’s gone.
One or the other
 Isn’t where they belong.
One’s said goodbye, before their time,
The other now lonely, left behind,
The 110% is no longer what it meant,
It just got slashed to 50%.
