At My Weakest

I was never taught how to show affection and talk about my feelings, instead I was taught that to stay strong I had to be on my own, that loving another person was considered a weakness.

I was never shown what a functioning relationship looks like. I never witnessed sincere kisses and fond smiles. I saw sharp glares and clenched fists and destruction beyond repair.

But love is an experience I don't want to miss out on, especially if I get the chance to experience it with you. So if loving you makes me weak then I am prepared for you to see me at my weakest.
