Stars Aligned
When true love comes, will it feel like the stars are aligned?
Love, but not loved rings louder across the mind.
Opening a map to my heart only to be left behind.
Emptiness and dark grim thoughts are now fully combined.
X-rays reveal scars of deep affection upon my heart are permanently signed.
When true love comes, will it feel like the stars are aligned?
Anguish and torturous frights grow inside like stalagmites in a cave.
Poisonous feelings of depression arrive in a shockwave.
Standing hurts and sitting alone in a corner feels like an open grave.
Tears begin to pour down the cheek pausing to take a wave.
Hiding from hurt forever will never work so time be brave.
To this gloomy despair I can no longer be a slave,
For there are new thought roads to pave.
Love, but not loved rings louder across the mind.
Opening a map to my heart only to be left behind.
Emptiness and dark grim thoughts are now fully combined.
X-rays reveal scars of deep affection upon my heart are permanently signed.
When true love comes, will it feel like the stars are aligned?
There she was standing before my mind’s eye.
Dreams of getting together while puffy clouds floated in the sky.
Being alone, broken, and hurt was definitely no ally.
Memories of loving-kindness began to tickle my heart like a butterfly.
Hugging this wonderful thought without ever wanting to say goodbye.
Gently smiling thinking of her made my tongue tie.
Grabbing my phone, I must tell her why.
Love, but not loved rings louder across the mind.
Opening a map to my heart only to be left behind.
Emptiness and dark grim thoughts are now fully combined.
X-rays reveal scars of deep affection upon my heart are permanently signed.
When true love comes, will it feel like the stars are aligned?
Afraid I cannot be, for this courtship’s importance is prime.
Seeing her I ran over, ready to begin this romantic climb.
Dearest sweetheart, without you clocks in my life do not chime.
You have stolen my entire heart, and that’s no crime.
We truly belong together like lemon and lime.
May I have this dance? I began to mime.
Smiling, she took my hand, and said, "I will love you always & for all time”.
Love, but not loved does not ring anymore across the mind.
Opening a map to my heart because she’s treasure everyday I find.
Emptiness and dark grim thoughts are no longer fully combined.
Deep affections upon my heart by her are permanently signed.
When true love comes, it does indeed feel like the stars are aligned!

This was such a lovely piece to read! To go from the insecurity of not finding love to then treasuring that special one was so wholesome. Another great one, Aaron!
