Glow


The difference between being happy that he looks at you

to being shamed

From freedom to curbed

Not with your interests in mind

Jelousy, fire, dignity long gone

Degradation and vitriol

fly next to 

"I love you"

But, he's not wrong...

 

But he is.

Shatter the bonds

of love long gone

Move on

to someone

worth your while

No "Because I love you"

makes him know 

how your spirit burns

not with abrasive tongues 

of flame, but with a gentle, yet strong 

glow of true love.
