A Love Letter to No One

Rhyming poetry about love

I never wanted your body
I just wanted your heart
You know, love is today
A dying art

The warmth in your eyes
The scent of your hair
Are nothing compared to
Your words, I swear

You doubted my intentions
You distanced yourself from me
I never wanted what the other boys did
Now, oh now do you see?

Love has today
Become a synonym of lust
More to do with looks
Than with safety and trust

But I am an old-school romantic
Please let me show you
Love is more than a toxic relationship
More than one and one makes two

Love is more than a definition
I’ve seen love that can heal
Love that can destroy
And love that makes you kneel

Love is not possessive
And it has no place for pride
When you’re truly in love
You can put all your pettiness aside
