i know love
i know the tough kind of love. i know love through anger. i know love through harsh words that screamed care underneath. i know aggressive love; like being kicked in the ass instead of hugged when my brother thought they lost me in a foreign country. i know love when my mother grabbed my hand a little too tightly when i pretended to jump off the bridge. i know love that has no words. i know love that manipulates. i know love that lies. i know conditional love. i know love that isn’t soft. i know love that isn’t gentle. i know love that isn’t tender. i know love… but not the kind that my heart needs.


I know this love too 🫂
This is so honest and moving. I hope your heart finds the softness it’s looking for.
