This is love?

Post by coconuts »

Love

Kicks and punches
Dragged by hair
Thrown and threatened
Up the stairs

Hateful insults
Bruised and torn
Wanting, needing
Used and worn

Hunger aching
Swollen sores
Angry screaming
Worthless whore

Dropped in darkness
Threats and shoves
Fading blackness
This is love?

Watching wonder
Why not me?
For them its different
I can see.

They're wanted
Cradled, hugs, adored
They're nurtured, fed
Gentle accord

Close the door
I cannot see
What isnt meant
For someone like me.

Lonely night
Stars above
Silent wonder.
What is love?
Be the Light 🌟 in someone's night.

Oh this was super powerful. “Close the door, I cannot see what isn’t meant for someone like me” gave me chills And made my eyes water. Another great one.
