The unknown

I wanted us to be it,

I wanted to love you

‘til my time would run out.

I thought I could,

I now know I should have.

Some unknown forces

Maybe ones dictated by heart

diverted me from the way

that bore promises

of happiness and safety.

Accustomed to believing

of never having things work

In my favor, I couldn’t fight

the need to be myself

rather than being another.

|When I realized this folly

I tried

the hardest I could

to stay stable and grounded

But the roots of my love

were torn

by something magnetic

and unknown.

So again, I went to uncharted plains

and mountains.

Alone.
