you were never mine
I miss you,
though you were never mine to lose.
I miss the safety in your smile,
the warmth of a hand that only touched my hair once.
It wasn’t you I loved,
it was the feeling—
that fleeting moment where I was seen,
where I was held without being held.
I ache for a father
I never truly had,
for words I never heard,
for love that never grew roots in me.
I grieve ghosts,
shadows of what could have been,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
and still, my heart insists
on carrying their weight.
But maybe one day
I’ll learn to build the love I longed for
inside my own chest,
and it will be enough.

"Enjoyed the read. I think the 2nd and 4th stanzas are very good. If you were to omit the 3rd stanza that would widen the scope/appeal of the poem." -

"I have seen "the look", the thousand yard stare that some people have, while proclaiming that "I am fine" just to get people off their back. I get it. Wanting a cure is not having one, even when we are given the answer…" -
