True Love

Maybe 

I am a schlump for you, 

Maybe 

I am a failure 

to pad my speech 

with perfect quotes of love.

Maybe 

I am the alienated star 

in the sky that has no dazzle

but it has the potency 

to become a shooting star 

to mitigate 

The darkness of falsehood. 

Believe me, touch me 

and snuggle up to me 

to feel the fluke of my true love.
