Never

You will never meet him Never embrace Never have a meaningful conversation Never lovingly kiss his face You will never touch him Never tangle your fingers in his hair Never realize his dreams Or exchange a loving stare And because he rejected you You've reshaped him as something you could despise And brought a vendetta upon his family Waging a war of bitter, empty lies And yet, he is so much more Than your limited mentality could create The jagged, pathetic lines of jealousy Put limitations in their place Yet, you desire what you call a monster You have lost at your own game And he will never forgive you Never hear you speak his name You hold him hostage to your dreams Try to rob him of happiness and wealth Disgust him with your obsessions But the biggest victim you've created is yourself

I enjoyed this well-worded, clearly drawn piece that illustrates just how self-destructive are vindictive behaviors. Good work.
