LOVE DIFFERENCES
In a mother’s eyes
no flaw is visible
her heart a quiet refuge
a place that always says welcome.
In a lover’s gaze
every glance carries meaning
but her heart can feel like a clinic
open only to wounds that don’t bleed too deep.
In a father’s world
tears are tucked away
love spoken in silence
offered through actions, never words.
But in a lover’s world
tears are dismissed as weakness
and love must be loud
a performance, always on stage.
