Love doesn't...

[leigh710]

Love doesn't injure
it doesn't leave you
with a black eye
to cover with concealer.

Love doesn't yell
and scream and curse
and leave you feeling
like less than a person.

Love doesn't threaten
to kill you when mad
and then apologize
the very next day.

Love is gentle, kind,
patient, self-sacrificing.
It is unconditional,
God-given, and God-led.
