Poem Challenge ~ Day 4

Love

[TW: reference to abuse]

"Ilunga" – Bantu

A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time, tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.

Love.. so pure and ionate and carefree

I thought the only thing you wanted was me

Started so kind and generous and sweet

But then the hidden person I began to meet

Everyone warned me, stay away from him

How could I know things would be so grim

He shined so bright and took my breath

But us ending made me feel like death

Once so loving, then turned to a betrayer

Our relationship played like a broken record player

Running in circles, the same problems bubbling

His actions turned dark to something troubling

Lies.. so many, a constant occurrence

The things he did should have been a deterrence

The fights and crying and never knowing

The pain you caused was only growing

First throwing words over and over

Then with fists to give a stronger answer

You changed me so much, now I know

I didn't see the differences starting to show

Our end was sudden but didn't come soon enough

2 years spent together was ever so tough

You left me broken and blamed it on me

Blind in love isn't something I shall be
