That Is Not Love

Love should not hurt.

That is not love.

What he does, is not love.

A closed fist and no remorse,

texting girl behind your back

yet accusing you of doing much worse.

He will start a fight just to attack,

so he can take advantage of the fact that you are too afraid

to fight back.

That is not love.

When he leaves and ignores your calls, and your texts

yet when he returns he smells like cheap perfume, and sex.

He threatens you so you don't try to leave,

and if you even try he hold on extra tight,

causing you to get a black eye.

He apologizes and instantly cries,

begging you to forgive him and give him another try.

That is not love.
