The Blood & The Bones

If there was such a thing as unconditional love then this was surely it.

For I loved you through the beautiful lies and words that you made sound like poetry.

I loved you when I was just a warm body and someone who would always answer when she wouldn’t.

I loved you as the only one even when I was only loved by default.

I loved you when you stood upon my heart like a stepping stone to the other side where you could find her.

I loved you when you didn’t deserve it. And when you cast me aside again and again.

Yes, if there is a such thing as truly unconditional love then maybe it is continuing to love someone who only wants you when they cannot have the other.
