It was a love
That was magical
It went beyond fantasies
And lustful desires
It was a love
That was unexplainable
It went beyond feeling
And unselfishly giving
It was a love
That wasn’t ordinary
It went beyond hurting
And unequivocally abasing
It was a love
That caused pain and despair
It went beyond heartbreak
And too many tears
It was a love
That was unfathomable
It went beyond distrust
And continuous berating
It was a love
That was controlling
It went beyond danger
And persistent fear
It was a love
That was depressing
It went beyond being unpredictable
And considering surrender
It wasn’t love
It was hostility
It went beyond everything
And led to death
