Love Does Not
Love does not cause pain
Love does not make you cry until you feel the thumping of your veins
Love does not call you out of your name
Or tells you, you are stupid when things do not go their way
Love does not cause you to drain
Love does not pull you by your hair and calls you a mistake
Love does not leave bruises on your face
Love does not make you feel afraid
Love does not watch you cover up the bruises they have inflicted
And tell you that everything will be okay
Listen to me when I say that love,
It is one of the most precious gifts ever given to man
But due to past experiences
I know that you might not understand
That love,
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love does not envy nor boast
Love does not harm you emotionally or physically
Love does not give off the perception that everyone you encounter will neglect you
Love does not tear you apart
And leave you stitching up the open holes
Love does not add on to your worries
In fact love takes away from the problems that are flowing
You are stronger than he has led you on to be
Do not let the toxic from past relationships
Taint the image of a love so heaven sent
Because love,
Love is everlasting
And if you can't raise a man
Then you can't teach him to love you without there being any toxins
