Love’s Words

Love

Has sharp words that cut like razor blades that effectively fillet my skin

Love

Says that the only way to sever our bond is with a sword of hate

Love

Says that his kindness towards me was fueled only by pity

Love

Thrashes about violently with such fierce rage he shakes the earth

Love

Tells me that he will never know happiness if he is only with me

Love

Says that my presence is unbearable and he couldn’t stand to be anywhere that I am

Love

Creates such a large void that a giant chasm has formed between us both

Love

Paints such vile images of any future where he and I are together

Love

Screams into the phone, no right now, I do not love you

And then, Love goes

But…. Love calls again

And love says I’m sorry

Then love says I love you

Still…

Love’s words stayed
