Changing worlds

I never heard the words
That would change my world
To comfort my being
Yet opposites
Ring in my ear
Fear abruptly placed
With tremors from
Fingertips and missing
The beats of my heart
I love you, was absent
From a world, that’s mine
What is the meaning of love?
I asked as tears soak my pillow
Yet — you know how to hate
With all that you have….but me
A cycle reborn, where
Love exists, changing worlds
