“You Wish About Love”

You surrounded yourself in love quotes
Because you believe that is the closest you’ll get to “feeling” what a relationship is. 
You surrounded yourself in romantic films 
Because you think it’s the closest you’ll get to “see” what a relationship feels like.

You shiver your way into a deep despair of hopeless apps
Because you thought it was your way to obtain a relationship
You realize you were a fool to believe this 
You see the deceptive pawns playing on your heart like a guitar. 

You try to find ways to emulate the feeling of love so you read and watch romantic tv shows 
To help the void disappear from your heart.

You wish it was a feeling you can escape 
You realize their will always be triggers 
Triggers that will populate that feeling to reappear.

You wish 
You pray 
You dream
You cry even a little sometimes
You know enjoying your own company is best
Until your wishful prince awaits you into his arms.
