It’s the four lettered word 

L O V E

El amor eterno 

The kisses you shared that were sweet

The goosebumps running along your arm whenever they are close

Tu corazón palpita

Repita las palabras que te hacen quedar

It’s the one word that holds you prisoner to him

 

He asks you to give him all that you are.

Forces you with the word love to involuntarily give yourself up.

LOVE should not be measured by the body you hand over.

 

Love is the word that is underrated and overrated 

Love  is not expressed as much as it is said

And when you have given him everything just to say that you 

L O V E him, 

still, you are not enough.

 

Even when you know that he has changed you continue to stay. 

He no longer says he loves you 

You no longer see color you life is grey.

He shouts that you’ve gained some weight 

Cuando te acercas puedes oler el alcohol.

Lo excusas por ser borracho 

Te dices que esta bajo la influenza del alcohol

You tell yourself he knows nothing of what he says because of what he has consumed. 

 

When you go to console him he pushes you away.

He stumbles to your room.

You follow because the love you have for him causes the flaws to evaporate. 

You help him up when he crashes to the ground. 

 

Se levanta enojado 

His eyes, te dice que you’ve made a mistake

Steam exiting his ears as his face turns crimson

the heat from his palm enveloping your cheek 

He stares at you angry as you stand there 

Still and unable to speak.

 

When you wake the next morning he is no where to be seen

Gone off to work,

A reminder of last night on your cheek. 

Por que el amor tiene que ser así? 

 

When he arrives from work

Flowers and sweet treats 

Begging you to forgive him 

He says he loves you

And you cave in defeat.

 

Esto es el amor

You tell yourself on repeat.

Golpes en el cuerpo y en el corazón.
