the love of a poet

no one ever will love me poetically i’ve thought about it, many times people will savor me they’ll enjoy me they’ll take what i have to give but never with bated breath never with stars in their eyes and the sky on their mind they’ll hold my hand and stare blankly they liked loving me, i guess but never like a poet and that’s okay, i accept my fate this burden is mine to bare but i will, yes i will every person, every breath, every day i will love through vivid colors and sounds only i can hear i’ll bend words to my will and i’ll kiss and i’ll touch i’ll feel glitter and sparks and bass and clubs and waterparks and space i’ll love you like a poet will i’ll love you like a warm embrace

Ahh the pain of the poet knowing what it is to see but not always seen. Beautiful words, I enjoyed reading them. Maybe what is poetic is in the eye of the beholder too. Just like the love language advice. Some people love through the medium of baking you a cake or sharing a space with you and what's poetry to them is their version. I know I'll never show love through the medium of baking a cake but it doesn't make it less real.
