So I sit here screaming with a voice

No one can hear.

Smiling sweetly from a heart broken

Over and over.

Calling for rescue from a captor

I keep running back to.

No matter how I cry,

I laugh because you don’t deserve to feel my pain.

While they point their fingers at how I suck at this

All I know is I love you fiercely.

It doesn’t matter what they think.

It doesn’t matter what they say.

You will grow well because I watered you

with love.

I know love.

They can label it all they want

But I know love.

It is loving you that has taught me what love is.

And loving him that taught me

What it’s not.
