Make Him Love Me
Is It Love Or An Obsession
She dreamt of him in midnight enchantments and denied wishes
She denounced the prophecy and summoned galactic witches
“Make him love me,” she screamed into every darkened space
She medaled in the affairs of spells and potions to feel his embrace
She tucked folded letters into her shoes and jars onto shelves
She chanted riddles, read scriptures, called on the fairies and elves
“Make him need me,” she begged at every chapel, every alter
She tried every trick she could but all attempts did falter
She hung suspended in her unrequited feelings tortured
Not able to go backwards, Unable to move forwards
“Make him miss me,” she pleaded to the heavens and the hells
She wasted away behind the bars of her love cells
Frozen in her own formulas of want and desire
Obsession and yearning that conjured in her fire

‘What do you want to be when you grow up,’ is a pretty easy question. However, I usually answered with a shrug. My idea of what I wanted to do with my life had changed so many times by the time I had entered college. I was never really sure. I couldn't settle into the idea of doing just one thing my whole life. Was it a veterinarian, because I loved animals so much. A police officer because I wanted to defend the innocent and take down the evil doers? What about a witch so that I could cast spells and enchant forests. Oh but what about a teacher, where I could enrich little brains. I wanted to ride dragons and win gold medals. My heart skipped from one desire to the next. How could I ever just pick one thing?
