Aloe Vera
I have been burned
By the words
"Because I love you"
Those words left burns
Red and tender
I have been caught up
In an endless cycle of destruction
Not wanting to stay
Not being able to leave
Because I love you
Ever since
I have been careful with the words
Because I love you
Until I met you
Your sweet words
Like Aloe Vera
To my swollen skin
