"ETERNAL EMPATHY" BY THE GIVEN HEART

Love's foundation is built on trust and care,

Not on violence, pain, or despair.

A real man or woman doesn't degrade,

Their love in the darkness of shade.

Abuse and cruelty are not a sign,

Of love, devotion, or being kind.

To hurt your partner is not love's way,

It tarnishes the beauty of each day.

To use secrets as emotional bait,

To blackmail and manipulate,

Is not an act of true affection,

But a twisted form of deception.

Real love is gentle, understanding, and true,

It uplifts, supports, and helps us through.

Let's cherish and nurture love's sacred art,

Embrace compassion and heal every heart.

THE GIVEN HEART
