Ongoing Paradox


Love is a paradox

Beautiful yet ugly.

Beautiful when it is true for you

Beautiful when there is support

Beautiful when there is trust

Yet,

Ugly when it becomes controlling

Ugly when it is based off mistrust

Ugly when used as an excuse for abuse

Using the words “ Because I love you”
