The Undesirable Desire Poem
I've always watched from afar
Gazing
Observing
In my own corner to my person
Lurking
But a question comes up in my mind that always sparks a fire
I wonder how you might feel to always  be lusted after but never truly desired
I wonder how hard it must be for you to crave real affection
I wonder how you feel knowing you've never experienced a true genuine connection
You want to feel sparks and butterflies
But all you end up feeling is hurt, neglect and disgust
You've never known true love
You've just experienced true lust.
They’ve romanticized the IDEA of you, but they never romanced you
They don't care to know you as a person
I wouldn’t blame you if your trust issues worsen
You tend to wonder if your beauty makes you feel cursed or blessed
Because when you do engage in small talk they always have to bring up sex
It’s always to my surprise  how they want to run the race, but never appreciate the prize
They rather the treasure chest than the actual treasure
You’re their trophy and they just want you around for good measure
And they expect you to accept this
They expect you to settle
They know that you’re top tier, but they don’t know what it took for you to get to that level
I know this must make you livid
I know you want to express yourself, but you may be too timid
Cause they’ve told you when you express yourself
“You’re making things up” or “You’re crazy”
They invalidate your feelings so you don’t have anything to say
And I’m just left in awe
Wondering of how you feel
