Love Isnt
By: Ebony Wilkes
Love isnt putting you down,
Leaving you hurt and confound,
Love isnt throwing around harsh words,
Then constant apologies afterwards,
Love isnt slapping or hitting the ones you love,
Just to make yourself look tough,
Love isnt sexually abusing the ones you claim to care for,
While it may be satisfying for you consider what they have to endure,
Love isnt knocking down the ones closest to you,
Just so they can be insecure too,
Love isnt I will never hit you again,
Then the next day more terror begins,
Love isnt cutting off the ones you love out of shame,
Because you feel you are the one to blame,
Love isnt being scared to speak up,
Because you are scared of being struck,
Love isnt emotionally tearing someone down,
Reciplicating the pain you have found,
Love isnt never showing your face,
Because in the mirror what you see looks such a disgrace,
Love isnt taking the blame,
They will change you tell yourself so I wont complain,
Then the day comes when TRUTH slaps you in the face,
And you take that step out on Faith,
You start to question well what is love
Youve endured emotional,mental, sexual or physical abuse and enough is enough,
Love wont treat you like a punching bag,
Leaving you feeling bruised and cracked,
Now I can tell you what love is,
Love is a reflection of Gods promises,
For the scripture tells us this no need to assume,
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
