Understanding

Love...
knows what you do
but understands
the rationale behind
why you do what you do.

When you know the love is true, what do you do to ensure it stays in tact ?

Well.

You don't lie
and
cheat
and
think
everything
will be
sweet.

Yes.

I did what I did
to show
you
an accurate
reflection
of what I saw
you doing.

It killed me
because I
poured
my heart
and
soul
into our
love.

A love
that's
forever hoping
that
you'll embrace
our
forever and always
without
the harem
of
whores
that disregard
the boundaries.

How can I invest
in you and our love
when you've tethered
yourself to other women.

You don't get
to have
me
for
better or worst
IF
you have
them
and that's
the sacrifice.

I hope
you understand
why I'm selfish
with my heart
when you mean
the world to me.
