Hooked

I was never one to grovel I was never one to beg I was never one to demonstrate a sign of care For my heart would always whisper, “Beware” I was never one to play hard to get Half of the time, I am oblivious I was never one to contemplate Trying to find meaning in a hollow pit For I hear only the echo of an ambitious voice Nothing more, nothing less Just me, my thoughts, as usual, mislead I was never one to consider What possibilities for us are kept? By my feelings I am fed By my yearnings that turn me red I was never one to pluck the petals And secretly wish upon a “he loves me” I was never one to glance at a couple, and wish like them we would be two I was never one to wish upon a stare Or gaze upon the moon Pleading for a sign to come soon I was never, I was never But now I am forever, I am forever
