I heard the term “Alternative Facts” today. It reminds me of gaslighting. And this is what came to my heart:

 

alternative facts say he

loves you

love tap

love bites

stop crying or he’ll

love you so

hard

you break

your heart

bones

blood spills

stop screaming or he’ll

love you to

the hospital

to the moon Alice

to death

or worse

stop dreams

and joy

and life

and will or he’ll

love you loudly

with knuckles

with snarls

with bruises

and breaks

and then he’ll love

the kids as much

as he

loves

you.
