Loveable;

ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

I'm only loveable when I'm useful.
I'm only loveable when you're in a good mood.
I'm only loveable when I accomplish something.
I'm only loveable when I'm valid.
I'm only loveable when you need me.

When will you love me for what I am?

    Those that think of only self do not love. A wonderful poem Sylva that draws attention to what love is. The print is a bit small for my old eyes but worth the strain.

    Sylva, this really hit me hard...the repetition builds such a deep sense of longing, and that final question lands with heartbreaking honesty. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
