Fidelity

A poem dedicated to all those who believe in romance and a special thank you to Y.S. for inspiring me to write this poem.

I fell under this grand delusion

  Happiness equates to freedom

    Every bond, an unnecessary hindrance 

      Lose yourself in a series of moments

With no real developments

  Building a narrative of...

    Pleasure in chemistry and biology 

      Isolated ecstasy 

But it took you walking out on me

to teach me the idiocy,

                                  misery

Of this philosophy 

For I realise that it is essential 

to be bound and bind another

For I realise that it is not the thread

but the tapestry that matters

I will try to open my heart

and find some sort of meaning

Embracing love and warmth,

fidelity
