His silhouette

I have always imagined what being in love felt like  

I imagine it's the best feeling in the world 

To know that someone truly cares about you

To know that everything will be okay when he’s near 

To know that your safe with him 

But it doesn’t 

I had a love 

And I did truly love him 

And he truly loved me in his own way

When I think about that past love 

Or what feels like life 

It doesn’t hurt 

Not as much as it did being near him 

But now I'm more scared than sad 

I'm scared of him 

I'm scared of my love 

Because knowing what he did to me 

Doesn’t go away

Knowing that it’s real by looking in the mirror 

Doesn’t go away 

Knowing what it felt like every time he got angry 

Doesn’t go away 

But instead of all that going away 

I did

A honest journey into love dear Savannah.
"Knowing what it felt like every time he got angry
Doesn’t go away
But instead of all that going away
I did"
I understand the above lines. Sometime a sweet can turn hurtful. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Really enjoyed the poem . I thought it was clever with a snappy ending that is sure to entertain and please a reader, it did with me. Good writing.

I didn't think the line, "But it doesn’t " was apropos of anything previously written and it should be, so maybe I missed something, or maybe the writer assumes the reader sees something only the writer knows.
