Loveless

Carrie

Story


A four-letter word,

A simple meaning.

Yet, I’ve never heard

Or understood the feeling.


A dance for two,

A lovely view.

Hands holding tight.

What I’d give for just a night.


A rose-filled bouquet,

Like my ma always said

‘It was meant to be’

But not for me.


There was never blushing,

Or deep-rooted longing.

Nothing worth crushing.

There must be something wrong.


As I get older, my bed feels colder.

The word has become a theory,

While I search to cry on a shoulder.

No, love is simply not meant for me.
