You say you love me
You say you're proud of me
You say I am all grown up

Why?
You say these things and then say opposites. I can't believe or trust the people that say love.

Love is a word to you

Not an action

They've never told me "I love you"
They've never verbally abused me
They've never treated me like a four year old
They let me make choices unlike you
They did not make me scared

They've made me cry
A good cry
A cry that I never had from you
A cry because people care
A cry that I have needed to cry
A cry that I am still crying a day later

To you love is a word

To them love is action
