Denied (Photo credit: greeneydmantis)

I drew from the well of his heart
A simple enough place to start
I sought not above nor below
For guidance to follow my part

I grew from the gifts he’d bestow
In attention I’d bask and I’d glow
When I should have worried instead
How little of him I did know

In rejection and pain I have bled
For what was and what was not said
For love spoken and love decried
And bitter the paths where this led

If love is no more than false pride
Whatever allurements are tried
No bridegroom is there for the bride
Thus truth will not be so denied

  1. Liked the question “if love is no more that false pride/” sometimes that all it seems to be.
