Will Will Poet Free verse

unlovable

do i not deserve to be loved
or has love grown tired of me

perhaps grief knows my name
better than love ever did

for whenever something reaches for me
i find myself pulling away

as though being kept
is something i was never meant to know

as though every hand
that tries to hold me

was only ever meant
to be let go

I like how you’ve broken the poem into two lines for each thought. ThkU so much for sharing. Keep writing what’s inside. Sending Great Love., Ghairo. 😊
