You looked at me
tears in your eyes
fear that I would leave.
Love, I never intended
never wanted
anything as much as you.
I'll never leave.

You're spilling secrets
wanting me to go
knowing my honesty
your proclamations
would tear me away

The gifts that you gave me
you pulled from under my feet
and returned what was left from the life before.

You left me a liar
begging on my knees
these handful of lies
they weigh me down
I've drown.

Love,
I never intended
never wanted
anything as much as you.

It is written
love is patient
love is kind
envied.
It does not boast.
It is not proud.
Dishonored.
Self Seeking,
not easily angered.
Love, delights in evil and bathes in lies
always protects thyself
always distrusts.
Hopes.
Rarely perseveres.

It is written, love,
about what should be
but not written, love,
warned, love,
what love isn't.
