WHEN YOU ARE OLDER / THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS / THAT I WANT TO TEACH YOU / LIKE HOW / LOVE / IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HURT / LOVE / IS NOT JAGGED EDGES / CUTTING INTO YOUR FLESH / CRIMSON STAINS / OR A PATCHWORK OF TEARS / LOVE / IS NOT BROKEN DREAMS / AND HARSH WORDS / THE COLOUR OF THE SKY AT SUNSET / PURPLE HUES AND SHADES OF PINK / DOES NOT LOOK BEAUTIFUL / ON YOUR SKIN
LOVE / IS NOT FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF A BOTTLE / OR IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE / WHO DOESN'T ASK HOW YOU ARE / OR IF YOU'RE OKAY / SOMEONE / WHO DOESN'T / LOOK AT YOU / WITH SOFTNESS / RAISES THEIR WORDS / LIKE FISTS / THUNDERSTORMS AND VIOLENCE / TIGHT IN THEIR SOUL / LOVE / IS NOT SUPPOSED / TO MAKE YOU FEEL / WORTHLESS / SMALL / INSIGNIFICANT / POWERLESS / AND IF THIS / IS HOW / SOMEONE / MAKES YOU FEEL / (WORTHLESS, SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT, POWERLESS)
THEN THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOU
(you are not obligated to fix other people).
