In the season of alonedom, lonely hearts gather;
fearfully, innately, with each other as they falter.
Some seek a shoulder, some, a pair of open arms,
but me, a pursuit, to rekindle my charms.
We search for answers from stories others tell,
but alas, wilting hearts,
equal love’s like universe in parallel.

With both hands empty and her heart full, the girl made a promise:
to love and comfort me – and at times, visit me in the abyss,
to honor and keep me – though, in ways I may not comprehend,
in sickness and in health, but not in times my ego swells,
for richer and for poorer; on the crowded carousel,
for better or for worse; but principles come first.
“The wounds you have, only you can nurse.”
The void emanates and now us in a frenzy.
Her hands now full and my heart, empty.
