No one ever told me

No one ever told me

my deepest bonds are respective secrets that I keep

I’ll profoundly love men who’ll make me weep

My wounds will go away and steep

I’ll grieve altered timelines in my sleep

Learn and grow as lush as the pang did seep.

Because I will hold on much too deep

Yet when love calls on me to reap

I still will always take the leap.

No one ever told me that.
