Lottery

Everyone says
„You’ll find someone one day”
And what if I wont?
What if my unsymetrical, big face combined with my tough, annoying personality is just too much for anyone?
What if I’m just meant to be alone for the sake of others and my own?
Maybe I’m just supossed to watch everyone around me fall in love and be happy that at least they won their lottery.
But then I remember I also won it once..
at least I thought I did.
Because I had the coupon and won,
I was So happy because I saw them in stores a milion times but this was the first time I bought my own.
My beautiful, precious, perfect coupon.
My chance to change everything.
But then suddenly the wind took it from my hand and it flew somewhere far away.
I tried to catch it and ran as fast as I could.
I picked it up but wind took it again, and again, and again..
And one time it was too late.
I know someone will catch it,
Because after all it’s so precious, so pretty, so perfect..
And it’s obvious that I’m not the only one that sees that.
I hope it’ll find someone who needs it,
Maybe even more than I did.
But what I also know, is that after what happend I wont even look at others coupons,
Because why would I?
It was my first one, the only one that I won.
And I don’t think I’m able to win anything again, (or maybe I just don’t want to?)
It was the only one that was with me for a little bit.. not long but still long enough to miss it now, to feel its absence.
And sometimes I see other coupons, quite simillar to the one I had,
And it just feels like an unhealed wound,
Like a cut that always bleeds.
But I haven’t found any cure For it yet..
Maybe one day I will.

i love you poignant poem, No one is meant to be alone, we've all failed and felt heartbreak at some point in life, but the past doesnt determine the future, there is always time to try to buy the coupon again, you might love the later even more than the former, this really is a heartfelt poem, well written.
though the lines are longer, it looks like a prose poem
