Love her the way you crave to be loved

To her past,

I see you replay the worst scenes of her life
over and over, trying to convince her that
she is less than good.

Listen to me, I will love her until you
become a memory faded;
until your words are without sound and
empty to her ears.

I will love her until you no longer get the
best of her, until you are nothing to her

Love her the way you crave to be loved.

If you thirst
for a love that
will drown all of the doubts
growing in your soul
and the fear vacationing in your mind,

You must never settle
for someone who lacks passion
in their eyes when they stare at you.

The pain will come,
let it visit,
cry it out,
vent it out,
bleed it out.

And then ask it to leave.

Do not allow it to build a home
and call it broken.

We aren’t meant to be broken forever,
that is punishment to our hearts and minds.

The sun and the moon
take turns admiring her,
the sun watches her rise,
as it finds its way to
the other side of the world
to cover its next shift.

The moon tags in
to watch her sleep.

You owe no one an apology
for being yourself.

What good are flowers without water?

What good are promises without actions?

You are more
than worthy of love.

However,
you will never be
worthy enough
to someone
who isn’t worthy
of your love

You deserve
to be with
someone
who searches
for the beautiful
things in you.
