the past has taught me what to avoid & yield to
though nothing helps with focus on things that matter
i suppose that’s the reason life & love worry me

i can’t bear forced affinity or more failures
my daydreams are full of romance & close ties made
gay & healthy in practical euphoria

there are others in the world that only give grace
i have no time or will to appease those others
principle is as dangerous as strong hate

love for all is becoming a queer thing to do
love doesn’t aid enough of the pain created
shouldn’t true love naturally bond the world with ease

my escapades with love have gone on long enough
opposites don’t necessarily attract me
i for certain can’t priortize much beyond me

i’m ashamed of being untrustworthy to some
i am not hoping for someone to complete me
i hope for the spark of constant conversation

without warrant i cast a wish of hope & flight
another wish on top of the rest amid fray
from within to the world i do pledge self-assent

(hopeful & beyond / rewrite)

The past has taught me what to avoid and yield to
I suppose they’re the reasons this quest is so hard

I can’t bear weak and forced compatibility
My daydreams are full of romance and partnership
Self-imprisoned in imagined euphoria

Am I a fool to believe love should be simple
Shouldn’t true love naturally bond two mates with ease

It’s a shame I haven’t found someone I can trust
I am not hoping for someone to complete me
I hope for the spark of constant conversation

My denial of love has gone on long enough
Opposites don’t necessarily attract me

Now I sacrifice all worry to cast my wish

(A Wish / original)
