A Love Verse

Everyone says

I’m destined to be alone.

‘Love just

isn’t for you’.

Their label, I own.

I believed these words

for so many, many years.

Some even forged

the way I think

or even

feel.

Now, my thoughts

are tad bit more clear,

but the doubts still linger,

nursing my fear.

Attention

was never a need

for me.

I didn’t crave it

like those around me did.

How funny it must now be,

to see,

how desperate

for the key

to your glee

I have been…

What a sin.

And oh,

how wonderfully tragic

it all is.

Remembering

how different I was

back then,

But what gives?

I know

it isn’t like me

to be this emotional.

But overlook

my imperfections,

dear love,

it’s not notable.

My heart beats only

for these moments together.

Although I must admit,

writing has been a comfort

when you were wherever.

A myriad of stars

line the sky tonight.

so I write,

a love verse

to you.

Lift the curse,

so we too,

can be eternal.
