Redefining Love

Love
was a mocking tone
Love
was a hollow drone
Love
pushed
Love
shoved
Love
punched
Love
always making
empty promises
Love
ignored my boundaries;
trampled on my
sacred premises
Love
left me
crying and weak
Love
watched me drown;
shoved my face further
into the water
to see me become
part of the meek

This has been the definition
Etched in the
Stark stone
Nothing good
To carve out
To hone

Love
Whisper
Gently into me
Replacing all my
Haunting dreams
Soothe my aching veins
May my tears
Become part of
The healing rains
