True love is only found between two people
but that doesn’t mean one cannot love truly.

I think you have a heart free from blemish
with love like a cloudless sky.

You have chosen and are still choosing
to see the best in an evil man

which hurts because he’s yet to show a reason
to be held in such high regard.

Your love is the kind where forgiveness is a given
but that removes the need to reciprocate.

Worse, i think he understands this and uses it
to take advantage of you.

It’s not your stupidity that brings the pain.
Rather, it’s his selfishly wicked choice.

You look past it because you want to believe in him
and that’s what lovers do.

We embrace the recklessness, we take that risk
because true love is worth a step too far

and we so need to take that step
because its our only escape when we are wrong.

So no, I don’t think you are stupid for the choices made.
I think you’re just having a devastatingly human moment.

Quite simply, you’ve fallen in love with the wrong man.
