i forget
i'm not supposed to
smile.
i forget
you don't like it when
i laugh.
i forget
cheating
is your way of escape.
i forget
i always need to forgive you.
but,
each valentine's day
you bring me a card;
"i love you,"
you always write.
i forget
that this isn't the truth.
i forget
how love is supposed to feel.
because you turned it into
something different.

thank you for reading. i wrote this as a reminder that love should not bring you pain, it should not make you sad, or anxious. if it does, it is not love.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails." -1 Corinthians 4, 6-8
