You don’t know me, but
I’ve been waiting all my life
only for your love.
Bones’re screaming,
hopeless heart kept denying,
fear might be winning.
Yet, darling, I know
I was made for loving you.
So stay, don’t go.

Song to Senryu #1
Inspired by my newest fave tune: I Was Made for Loving You by Tori Kelly (feat. Ed Sheeran)
wonderful! I feel the longing in your poem. I hope we all feel like this at least once in our lives!

That is true. The fear of loving someone you are not sure if he can love you back. Yet you want him to stay. 🙂

Ah, so relatable….I fell for someone during my first semester at university and I never told her. That was twenty-six years ago 🙂 You are enjoying these senryu and making them your own 🙂

Thank you, Thomas! I am indeed enjoying senryus and that is because of your support along with the rest of my poet friends, Annie, Dajena and Mel! You guys inspired me a lot! 😉

🙂 Ah, some things aren’t meant to be, my friend. Because I fell for her does not mean she wasn’t in love with someone else 🙂 It did help me write a lot of poetry!! I am happy you feel the support because I do love your writing. Have a great Sunday 😀
