I Loved Him Because...

Folder: 
Depressed.

I loved him because

he loved me back

I loved him because

he accepted my faults

That I was ugly

That I was overweight

That I was shy

That I was poor

That I was always angry.

I loved him because

he treated me

How I felt about myself

I loved him because

he cursed at me

called me names

wished I were dead.

And most of all

I loved him because

he was the only one...

willing to love me 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

No rhyme scheme. About a poisonous relationship I had that I sometimes miss I admit. Shame on me

No shame in love. Just

No shame in love. Just lessons to learn. Once you love the love doesn't disappear, it just changes and grows into a better version of the seed that was sewn. One day you look back and all of a sudden the saying 'truth is, people are going to hurt you, so pick those who you will be willing to accept it from", actualizes itself. Even long lasting lovers are hurt by each others human frailties.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

There is no shame in love

There is no shame in love unless its poisonous to your soul or wellbeing. <--- Thats what I have come to believe. If the love borders on destroying who you truly are or once were then Its bad for both parties involved. Human frailties are what love is basically encompassed of. Its the fact that we learn to bypass those frailties that makes the love last long in the first place. And honestly you shouldn't be willing to accept hurt from anyone.

 

The quote should be more like:

"truth is, people are going to hurt you, so pick those who did not mean to hurt you and who you are sure will never intentionally hurt you again"
