Love can still hurt

By Patricia Harris

Just because I love you,
And believe that I do…
That does not mean
Words slung in anger
Will not hurt all the same.

Love is not the salve
That ends all wounds
Nor the fuel that
Launches you
over the moon…

Love can be the tie
That binds if you
Actually want to spend
Trust and time.

*poet’s note: this is the prompt that I usually skip. He does it for every PAD challenge and I don’t normally know what to write. It’s always a Tuesday thing… love or anti love. This time it sparked. So… some of the prompts just hit differently at the right time.
