The love she deserves

Come near me not, she had said

“For if you do, I’ll wilt away

Leave me be, there still is time

While escape - it’s still at bay

While you and I, we still can swim

Away from this, dreadful brim

Of a monstrous air, a raging ghoul

Whose ‘love’, it is a pseudonym

Don’t come close, don’t you dare

Not a single step, please stay right there

Don’t frighten me, I wish you’d see

How misleading, life can be

"Adoration is no fun and games

It is an erratic hurricane

That clouds your wit, turns you blind

And an injured heart it leaves behind

Yes, love is blind, I’ve come to know

Through painful times, and bitter woes

And drags and doles and rues and blows

And solitude that no one knows

"So I say, again dear friend

My heart can only take so much

Don’t talk to me, don’t say a word

‘cause if you do, I’ll wilt away

Melt away, dehumanize

Desensitize from what I’ve left

And what’s more worst, is you will see

I’ll take you too, down with me

"So be wise

Realize

 Leave me be”

I stayed stubborn, but yet she tried

She closed her eyes, and opened mine

From a tale of a girl and the ones she adored

But a girl that didn’t exist anymore

From a tale of misfortunes brought to her

By that simple, easy, instinctive spur

And I sat there still, listening in awe

Seeing as I listened, believing as I saw

And to her dismay, I not only saw

But admired the life out of her

Had it been me, I’d have caved in

But no, she was strong, she was forgiving

And no matter what happened, she’s still believing

Still going on, perceiving, not grieving

I say, “But don’t look away

Joy comes in all shapes and sizes

And when it does

You have to realize it

Because in the end, there’s that girl still waiting

For her story to have a happy ending

Take a leap of faith, let go, be brave

To justify for the love she gave”

And a smile I see as her face tightens

And as this happens, the whole world brightens

And my mind confirms with vigor and verve

That she’ll get the love that she deserves
