She opened her heart
like all lovers do,
he was her world.

She gave him her all,
he took it in,
told her “I love you.”

He said “I love you”,
after her busted lip,
from falling in the shower.

He said “I love you”,
after her head hit the table,
from tripping on a loose rug.

He said “I love you”,
after a broken arm,
from falling down the stairs.

He said “I love you”,
but she just isn’t sure,
how much more of his love,
she can survive.
