For days now, thoughts have softly grown, Of one I'd call my heart, my own. My mother's trust-she lets me choose, Yet where to find him, I've no clues. Tall men, I find, do catch my eye, But deeper truths I can't deny- The traits I seek, I won't let go, A steady love, not just a show. Yet lately, hope begins to wane, Love feels like some far-off domain. These thoughts, like vines, around me cling, And choke my mind on silent string. In court, the charm is rare and thin- More intrusive looks than warmth within. Still, I don't hold beliefs too tight, I bend, I shift, I seek the light. Each day begins with tarot's call, And every reading says it all: "Your mind must change, your view reset- Love isn't something you regret." The voice that says, "I don't deserve," They call it false, a twisted curve. That claim, they say, won't ever stand- It holds no ground, it slips like sand. When others try to draw in close, I freeze-I cannot match their prose. Some days I glow with hope anew, Then falter, tired before I'm through. A friend has come, with heart so kind, To help love's thread begin to bind. For that, I'm grateful, soft and deep, Though still alone, with none to keep. So here I write, my truth made known- The crux remains: I'm still alone.

Chocked vines and tarot signs
For days now, thoughts have softly grown, Of one I'd call my heart, my own. My mother's trust-she lets me choose, Yet where to find him, I've no clues. Tall men, I find, do catch my eye, But deeper truths I can't deny- The traits I seek, I won't let go, A steady love, not just a show. Yet lately, hope begins to wane, Love feels like some far-off domain. These thoughts, like vines, around me cling, And choke my mind on silent string. In court, the charm is rare and thin- More intrusive looks than warmth within. Still, I don't hold beliefs too tight, I bend, I shift, I seek the light. Each day begins with tarot's call, And every reading says it all: "Your mind must change, your view reset- Love isn't something you regret." The voice that says, "I don't deserve," They call it false, a twisted curve. That claim, they say, won't ever stand- It holds no ground, it slips like sand. When others try to draw in close, I freeze-I cannot match their prose. Some days I glow with hope anew, Then falter, tired before I'm through. A friend has come, with heart so kind, To help love's thread begin to bind. For that, I'm grateful, soft and deep, Though still alone, with none to keep. So here I write, my truth made known- The crux remains: I'm still alone.
