Settling
Learn more about other poetry terms
My mother always told me to be patient
She would tell me wait until you’re thirty to get married
Then again
They are imbued in doubt
and therefore can never be certain
Their hearts long in the past
and therefore cannot embrace the present
Their fears are caged inside
and therefore will never be free
You can't live without love if you've loved,
and if love should ever leave,
the Heart, unyielding to the Mind's pressing,
yearns, and comes to settle for a counterfeit.
Settling, Settling, Settling,
into the eternal depths of my mind,
Falling, ever falling,
into the depths of my darkness,
Floating, swaying, shifting,
forever into misery...
