She Loved

She never loved

She never looked at a man the way everyone else did

She loved herself

She never knew what love felt like

She didn’t believe in love

She didn’t believe love could treat her well

She always loved her life

Not the life people wanted her to have

She wanted a dog

Not a man to hold like every other teen

She never had a man to hold

She wanted a dog to hold

She didn’t love men

She loved women
