Tough Love

In his eyes I found security

Which protected me from human’s cruelty

Within his words, I found consolation

That calmed me from the uncertainty of the unknown

In a rude and selfish world

He nurtured my trust, my guilt, and all the emotions I needed

He blows me the wind, the storm, and everything in between

So that I survive and remain humane

His love is tough but sweet and I’m glad for it
