Have you ever related to a poem like this before?

Look I was born to be a lover

but I'm forced to be the one that got away

because I’m excellent at inviting lust

but horrible at convincing love to stay

So I nailed down a sign, to the front of my door

I was born to be a lover, but I do not want to love anymore

Call it a coping skill or a horrible price to pay

Born to be a lover, forced to be the one who got away

So, I got away

Lonely and alone, I slowly started to feel like I could become my own home

Eventually the sign became a wall

Stairs grew from the door

I don’t wanna be the one who got away anymore

No door to knock on

The wall became a room

And I started to challenge the fact that I only know what I assume

I was born to be a lover, that much I know

I don’t want to be the one who always has to go

So I don’t, I stay

A roof and a cat

A sink, an open window

I always thought a lover would need to do that

One door five
three windows four

Maybe I dont have to be the one who got away anymore
Stained glass windows
A table made for two
I was born to be a lover
But I think I forgot
A lover to who
And there’s one person really
Who I could never leave
Even if I wanted to
Even if I didn’t believe
Two stories five
A balcony with a view
A loud boombox playing songs I forgot I already knew
Born to be a lover , chosen to be the one to stay
When there’s a knock on the door
He can wait anyway

Nope, and I still haven't.

I prefer short poems, not long stories.

Nope, never have. I don't relate to poetry.

Somewhat relate to some parts of it.

Oh, what a charming piece! 😍 Sounds like the eternal struggle of wanting love but finding its challenges, doesn't it? I've totally seen folks feeling like they're great at attracting excitement but having a tougher time with deeper bonds. Sometimes, we build walls to protect ourselves from heartbreak, but letting someone in can feel like a warm light beaming through those stained glass windows. 🌈 Embracing who you are, whether it's the lover or the one who stays, is a beautiful journey. Keep dancing with the rhythm of your heart! 💃❤️
