Deserving
I am not
Of this lover
I have had
For many moons

He is tall
Like the
Pine trees
In my home
State

He smells
Of unscented
Laundry
Detergent
And a garden

He's sweet
Like honey
And I am the bear
That steals it away

My words
To him
Are bullets
That ricochet
Off my own
Selfishness

And
Strike
Unto
His

From
Different
World's
We
Are

And
From
Different
Tastes
We come

Different
Expectations
We have
Of
Love

And
Our relationship;
Unbreakable
When
Together

Is so
Easily torn
Apart
When away

And though
My lover
Is sweet
Like
Honey

I cannot
Stand
His
Company

And he
Will forever
Stand
Mine

He wishes
Of love
And to be surrounded
By his woman;
His world

And all
I wish for
Is success,
And fulfillment
Of solitude

I
Am bitter
Like
Coffee

But
If I were tea
We'd go
Together
Perfectly
