Desperation's Prayer

Ladywithaquill

I pray with folded hands and fall to my knees.

My longing for love destroyed my dignity.

Will I ever find my soulmate? Tell me please!

I search for any existing form of divinity,

To guarantee love and offer me assurances,

Even meaningless platitudes give hope,

But to my future-self I offer my condolences,

Her dream of a perfect romantic trope,

She hopes but knows shall never come true.

This hope would be the death of her,

And a sad hopeless creature she’ll turn into.

All my love, what more can I offer?

You are merely a figment of my imagination,

Yet I’d still fight the world for you.

Find me before I start living in a hallucination,

Find me before I become a bitter shrew.

Does it even exist? The famous prophecy?

Do I ever get a "meant to be"?

  • Comment from author about the poem: Inspired by "The Prophecy" on ttpd by Taylor Swift, written between 1AM - 3AM, after a bout of emotional insecurity about being able to find love. It is very raw, and probably does not make a lot of sense but anyways here it is. Confession, the title is inspired by ChatGPT's suggestions because I cannot think of something better on my own at 3AM.
