About Someone
Enemy's Heart
Your enmity, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your hatred, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.
About Someone
Adversary
Your enmity, a burden you bear,
A shadow that follows, everywhere.
In your eyes, I see the pain,
A heart that's lost, in the rain.
About Someone
Foe
Your enmity, a constant plight,
A shadow that haunts, day and night.
In your hatred, I see the cost,
A heart that's lost, forever lost.
About Someone
Adversarial Ways
Your enmity, a shadowed light,
In your presence, no delight.
Every act, a hostile stream,
In your company, no peaceful dream.
Your adversarial ways, a guiding star,
In your presence, we wander far.
Thank you for the lessons taught,
In your enmity, understanding's sought.
With your hostility, I see the truth,
In your enmity, proof.
About Someone
Hostile Heart
Your enmity, a shadowed path,
In your presence, a hidden wrath.
Every act, a hostile beam,
In your company, no peaceful dream.
Hoping you find peace one day,
And let your enmity sway.
Thank you for the clarity found,
In your enmity, my truth is bound.
About Someone
Enemy’s Shadow
In the darkness of your gaze,
Lies a world of hostile ways.
Each conflict you hold, each dream you weave,
Reflects a heart, that does deceive.
Your enmity, a shadowed light,
Turns brightness into night.
With every word, every jeer,
You show a heart, insincere.
In your hostility, life does sing,
A melody of everything.
Forever hostile, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
