isn't what we think

it might be.

is found within

finds itself a verb

not a noun.

Sometimes Love

finds itself hidden

not allowed.

Sometimes Love

finds itself bruised

pushed down

wronged. 

Unrequited, assumed,

Sometimes Love

is abused

Held hostage to belief

is not true

Berated and beaten

Sometimes Love

isn't there

at all.

Sometimes Love, Sometimes not. 

The line is clear, and what you thought

might be love.
