what is love


Because i love you is a powerful statement,

it can heal

it can hurt

it can leave you broken or give you life

it can be the bandage that fixes you

but many use it as a weapon against you

but that isnt real love

love shouldn't control

love shouldn't lie

love shouldnt make you feel like your the problem

love shouldnt belittle you

love shouldnt tear you away from friends

love shouldnt leave you cying

love shouldnt leave you  questioning how they could have done that to you

because i love you isnt an excuse 

because i love you shouldnt hurt
