Pop Poetry: Even If
March 10, 2021
Even if love is as common as everyone says
As common as I have experienced it
Love is still precious and is the rarest of all physical manifestations
And as such I will not take it for granted
Her love is worth more
Though she and by proxy her love for me is unstable
It is potent with the cure for my mind
And holds the happiness i wish to possess
Because to some from the outside we seem abrasive
When we are together
I can be anything I want to be
Everything I can be
Because she brings out the best
And the worst of me
I know I sound like a broken record that keeps on repeating
But I don’t believe she’s on my mind for no reason
That her initials are my favorite letters and
Somehow she tamed the monsters in my brain
The creativity train that never stops
because she has no home destination that is not tied to mine
For our souls to feel forever intertwined
I have never felt so perfect for someone in my life
And I go against everyone I know who keeps saying
She could just be playing with me
She’s untrustworthy
That she’ll leave me broken hearted and scarred before
She truly loves me wholly and how
I don’t believe in anything holy so somehow
My disbelief will be the death of me
That I am somehow lost
But from being broken hearted I did not learn to close myself off
To be wary of her deceptions and spontaneous responses
But by crying a weekend away
Only to come to find she loved me anyway
That we could still be friends was enough
I need her in my life
I just wish I could be enough for those in hers
That my disrespect for some power higher up
Does not shake her moral keepers as I push my luck
And fight
Blood, Sweat, and Smiles
Until
she can
be mine
again.
Until we can have each other.
