Love,

is the only thing I believe in

without seeing it or proving it.

He pulls me into a vortex,

punishes me with silence.

If I endure it, there is hope

that I will finally know Love.

I will stay here in our vortex,

despite logic,

because pain is the only indication of growth.

Without pain, I am blind.

I wish never to be blind when in the face of Love

because Love takes away pain.
