What is love

What is love
Cause some of us know love as bitter
Because that is what love was to us growing up
Love was the beatings we got for nothing
Love was the daily yelling that we didn’t deserve
You grow up and the cycle continues
Love is giving without receiving
Love is caring for others, yet you don’t have a guardian angel
Once you get used to the cruel love kind, you never want the soft, kind, sweet love
Love is when you love them, and they dont love you back
Love is when they give you 100 reasons to leave, and you translate it to 1000 reasons to stay

Love is when they hurt you, and you smile back

Love is when you know you are not wanted, but stay hoping things will change
Love is all the bad things they do to you
He told me I deserved better, but he was the best i could think of
He was all i ever wanted
Even with the silent treatment, he was the best that i deserved
He said he was ugly, but he was the most handsome man I ever met
He said and said and said and said,
But I was too blind to hear any of that
Because love is crippled
But what is love
Tell me, what is love
If not the ghosting
Or lack of attention and affection
And the ugly compliments
Isn’t love the tears we bleed?
Isn’t it the smell of pain?
Love to me is crushing of the broken pieces of a heart
And throwing the powder in the ocean
Love is bitter if not sour
Love is ugly, if not dark like darkness
Love is painful, if not aching
Love is deaf, because the eyes are teary and can’t see past the eyelids
Love is blind, because the ears got too much wax
Love is the monsters that live inside us
Love is….. I don’t know
So tell me, WHAT IS LOVE?
