Why should one person
ever abuse another,
for the individual soul
is in God’s gift of living life.

No bruises seen or unseen,
should be stuck on another,
for the mark last a lifetime
of endless memories.

Verbal abuse that strikes
with a sword less blade,
can cut the bone
of someone’s insecurity.

In true love,
there is never a reason
to create vast hurts,
that inflict destruction
of special feelings.

Hold your loved one
in the self respect,
which cuddles their warmth
in how special they are.

A tear shed in unintended pain
can be mended in love,
for arguing is a tool
that can bond two together
in greater understanding.

But if the tears flow,
creating a flash flood
of mistrust,
carrying away years
of loving topsoil,
the flowers of romance
will wilt away.

Build a relationship
as true friends
sharing the feelings
so special,
you become lovers
that you can walk
throughout life together.

Learn to handle
the devil of mistrust
that would send you
spiraling into a living hell.

Thought: In all my life, all I want is to hold someone so special, that they blossom into me creating a garden of special delight, so tantalizing my smile would never cease to create music
Thought: Never create abuse or condone abuse, for a poet is a lover of words that never destroys another’s individuality..

I don't know if it's bad that I can relate to this poem.. It's so true and it's almost happy that you've put together the way love could/should be, and what it REALLY shouldn't be. But, then it's a little sad that we know what it's like to be so mistreated, especially in that way..But it's really good, for that alone.
