Words can be weaponised
Be careful with the words you use
What might be a throw away sentence to you
Forever imprinted, taunting anothers mind 

When you chose these words 
Did you remember the things about me which only you know
The secrets I don't share freely 
But entrusted with you 

People have preconceived notions
Ready to label and validate assumptions
You saw behind the mask
You knew my truth

For I too had asked these same questions of myself
Convinced that something was wrong
And only in loving you did I change my perspective
That's how I know I am capable of love
