Love Poem: Mythical

Written by: Kathryn Smith

Mythical

You're a myth that I cannot explain
Unheard of, perhaps
But the consequence is the same

The moments you care are what intrigue me the most
But loyalty is dead
A contrary anecdote

Fascination is key to lure the lamb in to stay
But this story is different
The lion is the prey

 I'm just an albatross that drives you insane
Your cannibalism for my soul
I soar through your veins

And when I try to push the burdens out of my mind
Lasty, you linger
From the strength I cannot find

So continue I will
“You aren’t real
You aren’t real.”
