You're So Lucky

the love that never dies

 

 

you’re so lucky

to have this unconditional love

of mine

 

i wish i could find someone

to love me, so deeply, as

i love you

 

you’re so lucky

to be loved so purely

even from a distance

so unselfishly, but painfully

as i have battled cancer, isolation, and

still wished you well

 

i wish i could be loved like that

from more than my cat, a

human with a heart like mine

 

if one exists

 

i have to believe

someone is in this world working

their way toward me, because

it must not be you     who

is meant to fill this void

 

you

you’re so lucky

being loved by another woman

children

mother, and adoptive father

 

you’re so lucky

 

i bet you don’t realize it though

i bet you don’t know how i’ve wept for you

wished for you, kept on loving     you

through the years

 

i’m so lonely

no mother to hold me, no children

for me to hold

just this love i have for you, and

this prayer

that someone will love me

as i have loved you

 

i hope the lucky charms i carry, and

wear on my wrist will serve some purpose

because otherwise

i feel like i haven’t

I can't even begin to feel the real weight of this poem. The only little thing I can attempt to relate with is the thought of wondering about if anyone has loved (or in some cases "liked") me the way I've loved/liked some people. And you've captured that thought process so perfectly here.

Wonderful. :]
