They Say
They say love is patient
They say love is kind
It should be.
It was not patient when you yelled at me for being three minutes late.
It was not kind when you pushed me down.
They say love does not envy.
They say it does not boast
Was it love when you accused me of cheating?
Was it love when you boasted you would ruin me? Destroy my reputation?
They say love is not proud
They say love is not rude
You are proud, but only of yourself.
You are rude to me, all the time.
They say love is not self seeking
They say love is not easily angered
You only seek yourself.
You are angry at me all the time. Especially when you call me names. When you hit me.
They say love keeps no record of wrongs
They say love never fails
You only held grudges.
You failed me.
I will not fail myself.
