Excerpts of Things I Will Never Say #23
I’ve been trying to find the perfect
Drawing —
A symbol maybe
To show you that I’m thinking of you
A minute passed
Then another
But I couldn’t wrap my head around it
My brain couldn’t transform my thoughts into words.
Is it really that hard to find something
Something as perfect as you
Or is it you that is perfect
And nothing can really compare to you?
I watched in movies
Read in books
I traveled through dimensions of love
Yet never felt it myself
My wish grew into a dream
Of loving and being loved
By someone
Perhaps as poetic as me
I asked people around
Tried to find out if people had
Ever been loved by someone like Edgar Allan Poe
And how he loved his Annabel Lee
All I wanted was to be loved
Like Poe loved his Lee,
Like William Shakespeare
Loved his poetry.
