Danger of Loves
I love you,
we're told,
is the most wonderful-
desired emotion.
Some search
their entire life.
Some

Some hope the truth
lies
with those who

"Because they love you".
Mothers-
who want to change you
"Because they love you"
Fathers-
who want to touch you
"Because they love you"
Partners-
who won't hesitate to hit you
"Because they love you"
Friends-
who will use your forgiving personality
"Because they love you".
It's not love.
It's abuse.
It's scarring
and leaves you empty
drained
till you're
