A Poem for a Strawberry Blond

If I could do it all over again,

I still wouldn’t reveal the truth to you.

You’ll never know how my heart aches in pain.

You’re not at fault for what I’m going through.

Thank you for being so very lovely.

Your light caused me to love the world itself.

I promise, I’ll be no longer lonely,

I can love myself, heart’s sorrows now shelved.

Knowing that you’ll always love her more than me,

I am accepting my own agony.

I may never be your priority,

but I’m alright with that reality.

Logic and reason, please erase my feelings!

You calling my name still leaves me dreaming.

Inspired by "Strawberry Blond" by Mitski
