Love Poem: Always, Always, and Always

Always, Always, and Always

ALWAYS, ALWAYS AND ALWAYS

it was your choice unfortunately
to avoid seeing me
I’ve had to let you stay away 
It was abrupt
I had to walk away from you
immediately
you laid hands on me
never again
I’ll not forget 
the anger in your eyes
that insane moment
your intense rage
unacceptable

I’ll not forget the one standing
near doing nothing
he watched as I said three times
“Take your hands off of me”
three times
Unacceptable

she pulled you away
she, not him
I’ll not forget

you are toxic
too controlling
too narcissistic
too proud to apologize

I remember I love you still
forgive you if you ask
time passes 
and passes

If I pass
remember
I always loved you
always
always 
and
always
