POEM STARTER
In a poem, write about a love triangle between three people.
Will you write from each person's perspective with unique voices, or omnisciently tell the whole story?
Split
Is it so wrong for me to desire love?
I spent the majority of my life
adrift in an endless loop
of anguish.
Pain becoming so common
I believed it was my salvation.
It's really my mother's fault for
this, she never showed me
what love is.
I'm a puppy sitting doe eyed in the
window hoping someone would
finally pick me.
there are two people that picked
me.
How am I supposed to choose?
I went from undesirable to undeniable
and I have to make a choice.
My first love, a hurricane
wild and destructive, but
it felt familiar.
Even though the world around us
was chaotic it never seemed that
way when she held me.
Whenever the roof of my world
would blow away she anchored
me and help build anew.
There was no flood of life that
could drift us apart.
My second love, a perfectly blue
sky, calm and serene.
With her I forget the hardships
of life and dive headfirst into the
moment.
Her smile warming the darkest
parts of my heart, showing me
a love unbound.
And me a helpless fool trying
to hold onto everything.
careless juggling two hearts as
if love is some kind of game.
Do I really desire love?
