Two Songs Rewritten for the Tunes Sake

Ever hear someone refer to the pendulum when they talk about their lives? I think it has a lot to do with how closely related love and hate really are.
No, not hate. Hate is too much. Hate is for Hitler, as my mother used to say. Maybe ambivalence is the right word. Hate implies that a part of me still needs you, that "hating" you is somehow still feeding some need to be close to you. I feel momentum; the pendulum is swinging past bitterness and anger. On the opposite of love is an equally serene and powerful state, and I intend to get there and dig in my heels.

Yes, I feel the need to talk about it. I want to shout it from the rooftops, I want everyone to know.
