Stop kissing the boy who keeps saying “**** love”
He means that ****
This is his truth.
And you cannot save him
There is nothing YOU can do to change his mind.
It has to be the one… and you have to stop believing that he is just missing it.
Stop trying to cradle shaky hands that you wish to pour your heart into.
We both know how this will end,
He will drop it
He will apologize, repeat, apologize, repeat…
Never stopping.
Until you realize that hearts can’t be held by men who aren't sturdy enough to love themselves
Enough to love a woman properly.
Stop calling him at 2am, drunk with emotions that need to be set free…
If he wanted you, don’t you think he would have told you already?
Don’t you think that he would have found a way to be closer to you than that bottle anxiously calling your hand, your mouth, your mind?
You have got to stop thinking that his “I love you” means anything
If his actions say “I simply like that you are here sometimes”
Stop chasing his scars, wanting to kiss them away…
These boys love war and will do anything that will leave battle wounds
Just so that women like you will feel the need to fix what doesn't even hurt anymore.
So please do not think yourself a hero
More like nourishment for ego
And a Band-Aid showing that things once happened here.
You will not need to fall in order to gain the adoration from the right beloved.
He will be standing, steady foot, quick tongued, with an advantageous heart for you
And he will allow for you to rise into him…
