I Love You

She opened her heart
like all lovers do,
he was her world.

She gave him her all,
he took it all in,
told her "I love you."

He said “I love you”,
after her busted lip,
from falling in the shower.

He said “I love you”,
after her head hit the table,
from tripping on a loose rug.

He said “I love you”,
after a broken arm,
from falling down the stairs.

He said “I love you”,
but she just isn't sure,
how much more of his love,
she can survive.

a good write. some people are too scared to walk away. some stay untill the last hit takes their life. thankfully God removed my x before he had chance to do harm. a long story but God gave ultimate protection.
