Indelible

So good

So gentle

She made a mark on my soul

She sat in my dark

And brought forth the light

The mark of the promise

The voice of the reasoned

She gave of herself

Selfless flawless raw

Guided me forth

How could it be

To take a being so dark

And find within that so worn

A canvas prepared

Create your masterpiece

“I can’t”

For he loves

And I cannot be loved

For who would take me

Damaged and torn

Who would take me

Ugly hideous repulsive

Blighted by the uncaring

The unhealthy the tattered

Who would take me

Unworthy

“I would”

And I wanted

Mere opposites attract

So I thought

But we are alike

Two negatives

Being positives

Repelled in inertia

Impossible to remove

These laws

These physics

This directive

Do not love

Me
