I think to my loneliness and wonder

Is this my forever?

Lingering, longing

Torn asunder.

And of course I watch with wonder when

People describe love and it’s finite nature

Loving, yet knowing you’ve made your bed

With grief for the sake of a love that lasts till death.

So in my loneliness, I will be serendipitous

Because the only way I can lose now

Is to give up on myself.
