They say love is always
patient
and kind.
But your fury
sometimes knows
no self-control.
They say it’s better to love
and suffer
than to not love at all.
But my bruises
beg
to differ.
They say a lot of things about
love,
but they’ve never loved
someone like you.

Powerful and, hopefully, empowering.
