Unlove Spoke

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
                                                                         -Anaïs Nin        
What a world I invented
with a love all its own
through my eyes demented
to a fantasy home.

My heart couldn’t fathom
the reality of
an absent item
the presence of love.

I saw what I thought
and heard what I could.
My mind simply bought
what a lonely woman would.

Stars twinkled madly.
Rooms were rosy pink.
Unlove spoke so sadly
nothing I would think.
