Like a Gypsy

on the spot

everyone is saying

how much of a pagan i've been

but i seek only to turn away from those who lie themselves silly

i haven't actually

practiced the craft

if only they'd seen what hell i've gone through

how my heart aches whenever love exits me

i feel

different

as if some other entity consumed me

about last night

i had a dream

of a past life

and it seemed

i needed a clearer focus

on what's in front of me

but 

it seemed

also

in a past life

i did practice the craft

i wasn't a siren

i was only a lover

but everyone loved me

and i loved everyone

but the only person

on my mind at the time

was him

and i loved him

i did

but it seems now

love

is overrated

this feeling

now

is too strong

to call it love

"everyone loved me and I loved everyone"
great statement.
I appreciate the unconventional way you lay your words out. feels like i'm reading them in the same cadence you would speak them.
it makes the poem feel tangible
