Love Voices

By Maria


“Love, they promise
Love, please be there 
they fall back
Love, they need you
Love, forgive me
Love, we love each other
Love, love is enough”

I love yous are not an apology
A rag that wipes away the inflicted frost
Love is enough 
When love is not infatuation 
Love is enough 
When conditions are nonexistent
Love is enough 
When love is shared
Saying I love you is not enough
Act like it

    I do this not because I hope it is you,

    But because I’m praying it’s not.

    If anxiety could speak
