love isn't easy
I have to remind myself that love isn't easy,
It is hard for me to love,
Because of past relationships.
I am a fragile mess,
Love is filled with fights,
Love is filed is with arguments,
Love is filled with agreements,
Love is filled with white flags when someone is wrong,
Love isn't about always being right,
Love is filled with communication,
Love is filled with commitment.
Love it filled with gentle touches,
And sometimes roughness.
But to me...
Love has been ruined.
I'm trying though.
My small voice is trying...
It hard though when I notice harsh movements,
The raising of a voice,
The grabbing of wrists,
The will to prove me wrong...even when I am right.
I find myself bottling up the old me,
For the sake of saving her for someone that truly deserves me.
I want to know she is safe with the love she chose.
I want her to feel comfortable.
I don't want her to go silent.
I don't want her to fall apart.
But love isn't easy.
