He Loves Her Still

       He Loves her heart and soul
But she’s beautifully broken
He tells her he loves her but his words
Are like they’ve never been spoken

In her eyes he can see a battle raging
He has to turn from the violence
But he understands it’s the reason
For her frequent scripted silence

He tries to show her his love is true
His actions have an honest charm
He desperately tries to assure her
His love would never cause her any harm

Her wounds have left a scar
Penetrated long and deep
She closes her door and he
Is left to listen while she weeps

He wasn’t the reason for her pain
Or why she’s mentally ill
Any other man would just walk away
But in his heart He Loves Her Still
