I Wanted You to be The One

My dreams of love were vivid and true
My heart sang a song of longing
I met you one day and instantly knew
You had to be the one.

I opened my heart and you stepped in
Our similarities were uncanny
You matched my soul unlike other men
I prayed you were the one.

I wanted you to comfort and keep me near
unconditional love I gave you
I was deceived now one thing’s clear
Thank God you’re not the one.

I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology & Creativity Studies and I write poetry, flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and flash memoir with themes based on overcoming childhood trauma; physical, psychological, and spiritual healing; loss and recovery of voice; and relationships. Many of my writings focus on psychological drama with an occasional paranormal twist. I also dabble in nature photography. My spirit lives in my creativity.
