My Love

when I looked at him
my heart skipped a beat.
he completed me
and I wanted to be his wife.

I was so willing
and so blind
I would do anything for him,
my sweet boy.

even though he yelled at me
and ignored me.

I saw through all of it
and loved him.
I thought
my love could cure him

but I was the one who hurt the most
ignoring my instinct
I loved him
why couldn't have he loved me too?
