Love is all there is: it nurtures the weak,
and will feed the starving. it warms the soul,
emboldens and uninhibits the meek,
It takes broken pieces and makes them whole.
Love is a raft in a turbulent sea,
it’s a shield against a condemning word
and yet from it you can never be free
forever you’ll be trapped like a caged bird.

A lost love can ******* the strongest man,
or it may silence a boisterous voice.
But more often love is a helping hand
that will help guide you to each loving choice.
And when it gets tough it’s what you think of
for that above all else I will take love

It's been five years
And we stayed friends
But it was hard
Because I never stopped loving you.
You stopped telling me what was going on
And then something changed.
You started talking to me again.
I mean like really talking.
But then....
You texted me while you were totally drunk
And you said a lot of things
Mostly how you'd never stopped loving me.
But then....
You wouldn't admit it when you were sober and got mad when I used the phrase
"Under the influence"
But that's what you were because
Apparently
Your filter won't let you love me
You need something that uninhibits your brain,
Something that temporarily alters your brain chemistry,
To love me.
And then you got mad when I said
"That's not okay"
Here's to another five years
