POEM STARTER
Submitted by em_andherbooks
Write a poem that describes the longing of a reader who falls hopelessly in love with a fictional character.
Fake yet more Real
You have everything Im looking for
Youre just the one for me
Yet you are nonexistent
And Im still stuck as me
If I could make a wish
Itd be to bring you to life
Theres no one like you — thats why
I wish I were your wife
Oh why cant I find,
A boy with your characteristics
They all seem to mind
When I fall in love with fictions
They call these men fiction
Yes thats true
But so are their feelings
Theyll only lie to you
So Ill stick with the pages,
Where hearts dont decay
Where love never falters
And where no one walks away
