Perspective

Because I Love You

I say these things-

Real love is painful.

It’s imaginary that

you can reach your full potential.

I believe that

My wants

Are more important than

Your boundaries

I want you to know that

You are unheard.

You will never feel that

You have a say.

My love is insecure.

It is a lie that

I’m not teasing you with my heart.

I hope you realize that

If you’re ever scared

You have good reason to be.

If you ever think you’re truly happy

I will deprive you of it.

You have an abundance of hurt and

fear.

I will cut the binds of

Friendships tying you to others.

I encourage

You to feel guilt for no wrongdoing

I never desire

Letting you be who you really are

You feel like I am

Choking the life out of you

Instead of

Hugging you in a warm embrace

I enjoy

Manipulating you

And I am not

Loving the right way.

You are worth

Less than you think.

Love like this happens

All the time.

People are taken for granted

That’s not love.

All of this shaming, isolation, intensity, jealousy, guilt and more-  

All of this will happen unless we change our perspective.
