Love that Emerged This Month

sometimes
you are annoyed
you are scared
mostly just sad
that they are sad

talk
laugh
cry
fuck
eat

it does not matter
try as you might
you cannot turn
the corners of
their mouth up

drink
smoke
write
scream
pray

in the end,
it is not your
job to make them
happy, only to
love them boundlessly
