TRUE LOVE by nichelle wong I didn't want you to feel pain Just hoped that it would rain So I could bring my umbrella And watch your sadness drain I didn't want you to feel worse I just wished to be there first In the oceans or the desert So I could quench your thirst I didn't want to make you bleed Just wanted you in need So you could turn to me; It wasn't out of greed I didn't want to make you cry Just told you a white lie So I could comfort you Through times you'd want to die I didn't want you to be free Not out of hostility But from fear that you would leave Or you'd stop wanting me And you said that I am cuckoo When I told you I love you But it’s not schadenfreude I know deep down it’s true

I know deep down it’s true. Dec 2020||The penchant|30
