    "Love Leftovers"

    Dear Love,
    After a long time I finally decided to write to you. Remember me? Howwey, the young one without a clue. I was the one that called on you every day and beg for you. I was the one that cried for you during those lonely nights. I was the one that beg for you to come into my life. I almost gave up on you Love, I really did. You kept giving me false pretences that just weren’t clear. Heartbreak after heartbreak you gave me and I couldn’t understand Why? I couldn’t understand why my Love was denied.
    Then out of the clear sky?...Love was right in front of my eyes. You sent me someone that made my heart fly. And I never imagine that you were so powerful, I couldn’t understand how you could have been so harmful. I didn’t expect you to come in my life and change it around. I would have never guessed that some days Love can bring me down. You was the fantasy that I always dream, you was the perfect movie in a love scene. I didn’t know that when you enter inside me that my guard will be down. I never knew that was the price to pay for you to be around. Young and Naïve, I sign the contract for you and now I feel so through. Don’t get twisted Love, I Love you! but you just have this hold on me that makes not know what to do. Do you understand what I’m saying love? I’m not trying to put you on blast. It’s just that I thought heartache was something I left in the past. I envision the fairy tale and the happily ever after. Maybe it’s my fault that the reality never came together. I was never told that Prince Charming wasn’t so charming; I never knew that he could be so disregarding.
    Why wasn’t I warned Love? Why you didn’t give me a sign. Did you just watched and waited for me to lose my mind. Why wasn’t I the main course? Shit I will settle for seconds cause being Leftovers is the worse! I didn’t know that I was the scraps and I had to work to get the full meal. I didn’t know I was a novice in the universal deal. To fight for my Love and fight to keep it. That it’s not going to be easy but that’s something I have to deal with. You could have given me a warning Love but it’s cool. I’m still standing and more each day I know what to do. Fight for Love, Stand for Love, do everything above for Love. So while others might prefer to have a Love hanger or maybe just be Love Sober. For the time being, I settle for being Love Leftovers.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
