You can love the whole person
all the angel bits the joy the laughter silliness hugs
all the devil bits the anger the grumpiness sulking whines
all the bits you have too
you do not always have to like their behavior
you do not have to tolerate abuse
you can say do not be mean, tease, gossip, steal, lie
trust yourself
and don't give in to lies
you can love the whole person
you are wholly lovable
and you do not have to stay
for a moment even
if they abuse
if they won't stop
walk away
and maybe they will change
