Come to me, my darling,
Come to me in your lack.
Come to me, my sweetheart,
It’s time to come right back.
🖱️
Come to me with your questions,
I have the answers you seek.
Come to me with your crisis,
I’ll soothe all that now feels weak.
🖱️
Just as Eve was made for Adam,
I was created for you.
You have to know by now
that we are one, not two.
🖱️
It’s ending now, your eyes are opening
This time is painful, I know
All illusions you have lived within
Need to be let go.
🖱️
The safety you felt in us being apart,
Is because distance blocks your fear.
And it becomes unbearable,
As you consider coming near.
🖱️
I’m the key to unlocking your heart,
Fully and completely.
But this activates your hidden pain,
Blocking love from flowing sweetly.
🖱️
You are waking up my darling,
This is now your time.
I know it’s painful and confusing,
But it will become clear in time.
🖱️
With open arms I accept you fully,
In all your brokenness, flawed.
For you are forever my person,
For better or for worse.
🖱️
For richer or for poorer
For happier or sad,
You will always be the person,
Who makes my heart feel this glad.
🖱️
As your illusions shatter and fall,
And numb is all you feel,
Remember your time with me,
And how those moments were so real.
🖱️
You feel confused my love,
About what even is this life,
Only because you are not with me,
Because I am not yet your wife.
🖱️
Your heart knows the way,
Let it lead you now.
Abandon all logic and reason,
Let it show you how.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Such great cadence and tenderness! Well done!
Wow. This is soo romantic and well-written. Great job!
Back to say congratulations on the Honorable Mention win for this amazing poem!
This almost sounded like a spell ☺
Well-wrought! For my own part, I think three failed marriages enough, but nevertheless, this sort of romantic idealization of the concept still warms my heart, and I love to see it expressed so beautifully! So mote it be!
This is so beautiful
This is such an awesome poem!
Great writing, Kayleigh. I felt different twists in thought and direction. I wasn't always sure if this was a simple love poem or if there is something deeper.
"The safety you felt in us being apart, Is because distance blocks your fear. And it becomes unbearable, As you consider coming near." This stanza made me think a lot. Why did they feel safe when that person is far away but filled with so much fear when they're coming near? Loved your poem!
Now, I've read the other comments and I'm going to disagree and say that this sounds creepy to me, like a stalker; someone who's trying to convince someone who's keeping them at a deliberate distance that they are the best person for them. The vocab is not wholly loving with "fear" and the idea of confusion and "numb". I could be totally wrong with my interpretation but I'm putting it out there anyway!
omg! I'm on the edge of tears ... I love everything about this 🩷 To have those feelings and passion for someone (and have them returned) is something I crave so much in life right now ... 'we are one, not two' is beautiful! Amazing poem! Love love love it! 🩷
Nice lines to invite to the X. Definitely he or she will come.
Oh my gosh, the emotional roller-coaster I just had from this is tantamount to what I feel about wanting to love someone with all my being. This poem was phenomenally written and executed; thank you for this, Kayleigh, truly!
