Well
Romantic poetry that is
Because I write about detailed experiences
I’ve never truly experienced
But imagined in my head
Because I’m done submerging myself
In the utopia of a perfect love
Between two hopeful romantics
Finally coming together
Because I’m done
Falling in love with the idea of love
Before I even get the opportunity
To fall in love
Because I wanna stop wrapping myself
Isolating myself
By temporarily living in the fictional world
That lies between the words
Of pages of books
In the aisles of abandoned public libraries
Where true love conquers all
Where life’s responsibilities blur
Fading in the background
While romance is magnified
To an unreachable level
That I desire to reach
But my question remains
