Affection drew me closer
Affectionately, I fell for you
Thinking that I needed you
Wanting to fill a hole in my heart
Agony, I felt ...
The love I thought we had was
interrupted by your peers
In the gloom of darkness
feeble and hesitating my strength
in my own goal
Hopelessly, I waited for the morning star
to brighten up my goal
I want to know ...
was it an artifice?
Was it a dream?
Was it real?
What was it?
Today, I assure myself that I'll never
be deceived again
I will glitter like diamonds on the dark sky
I AM A STAR, AND SO ARE YOU ...
-Sive Fikelepi
I love that line: Today, I assure myself that I'll never be deceived again.

Sive, I agree: You ARE a star! You are leading your peers in an honest conversation about the mystery of romantic love. Matters of the heart, especially during youth, can be so complicated. You capture this truth well here.
ReplyDeleteLovely writing. Keep it going!
