Platonic Soulmates pt.4
As I looked into your eyes,
I saw my future go up in flames
Is this all normal?
To look the devil in the eye and ask him to
“Call me by your name”?
I wonder if I’ve hit it,
The limit of my sanity
Dining with the devil
Left me with the mentality
That every cloud has a silver lining
And every dagger is double-edged
Who am I to judge
The words of a fallen prophet?
And so I looked into my mirror
Looked it in the eye
And asked it ever so nicely
“Who’s the devil in disguise?”
It can’t be me, I realize
I can’t fall in love with myself
But then again, my aromantic ass,
Never thought I’d fall for hell
And Lord, have mercy
Lord, be kind
And cure this burning heart of mine
I’ll cross my heart and hope to die
But he knows I mean no wrong
Because love is blind
And love is dumb
And God, this poem is too damn long
But you understand my heart of hearts
I never meant to fall in love
With him
To ~O,
Forget everything I’ve ever told you
