LOVE

This is not sad.

LOVE

This must be love,

I can feel trust,

It runs through me,

Like the rivers of old,

It lights me up in gold.

I don't care what you've done,

I just want to feel this love,

I don't care if it brings me shame,

I don't care if it scars my name,

You post to your Instagram story,

Another picture of you and him,

It's getting kind of boring,

Maybe you should learn to say sorry,

Then you can love me,

Written in my bones,

Are all my lovers shadows,

Looking over me,

Whilst I'm at the cliffs edge,

Teetering on the edge,

Where I could fall back in,

I just need to forget where I've been,

I'll do what I like,

And I'll love who I want,

At least I'll know what love is,

We won't apologise for who we are,

For who we fall for,

This love shines like a star,

We'll love through dark and light.
