control and love cannot co-exist,
though control often cloaks itself
in love's clothing.
I am no longer free the moment i
need another to bend to my will.
I am no longer loving myself
when I try to control another
person's response to my actions.
When I try to control you,
I am abandoning myself.
Love is trusting in ourself that,
no matter what happens, we will
get through it.
Love is unclenching our fist so
that we may be open to the shifting
tides of intimacy.
May our love be liberated.
