The love you make work

I love how
people in love
talk about love
as if there is no love
but true love

But I have seen
otherwise

I have seen
the yelling
the screaming
the shaming
and the humiliation
that goes with love

I have seen
the desperation
the drowning
and the realization
that there is no starry-eyed love
but the love you make work

So yes, there is no true love
but go love anyway
