Love

"She was fierce, she was strong she wasn’t simple. She was crazy and sometimes she barely slept.She always had something to say.She had flaws and that was ok.And when she was down, she got right back up.She was a beast in her own way.But one idea described her best…..She was unstoppable and she took everything she wanted with a smile.”

I simply want for someone to be
as hopelessly enamored with me
as I have ever been for them
to be together until the end-
Or maybe not even the end.
but long enough that
I may mend my heart,
so pained from empty loves
from giving all and getting none.
I crave a lover,
who'll look at me
not with his eyes,
but with his dreams
and with his heart
and with his soul...
Content enough
just to call me his own.
