if a woman

if a woman keeps coming back after you've hurt, please don't mistake that for weakness. she isn't returning because she's desperate and she isn't returning nobody else to turn to. she's coming back because she loves you and real love doesn't give up easily. it fights it, aches, it bleeds, still shows up the next morning. rare they don't play games. they don't go options the moment things get hard. they find one person, they hand over their whole heart and they stay, even when staying costs them. but even the deepest love has a breaking point. there comes a moment when she looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize herself anymore when she's given so much, when so much and received so little, that something inside her finally goes quiet. she won't leave in anger. she'll leave in a silence that never breaks.
