Here’s how you know it’s time to bow out
A Poem
Love can make you blind
Stone blind
It can make you overlook many faults.
Miss many red flags
It is dumbfounding
Plain dumbfounding
how much we are willing to put up with to be with a person
Because you know,
We are supposed to be patient
For that’s the definition of true love
But we can only take so much
Because there’s error,
There’s common misunderstanding
And there’s overreaching
Here’s how you know
It’s time to bow out:
If you’re using permanent ink
For someone who’s drawing your memories in pencil
If you are constantly being treated with undeserved unkindness
If you are still chasing after another person like they are not already yours
Or If you don’t know if it’s worth to stay anymore
Because it is not only important that you love someone
But do they love you, want you, long for you
Just as you do them?
