Cursed Blessing
Ever have someone come into your life who was both a blessing and a curse at the same time?
Your name
quickens the beat of my heart
Your face
causes my blood to rush.
A blessing,
you came into my life.
Never again
would anything be the same.
Knowing you
could never be mine
brings nothing but tears.
I don’t exist
in your little world.
No amount of hope
could change the outcome.
Here I sit
cursed by your presence
everywhere I turn.
Daily life
operates on disbelief.
Absently walking through
the days.
What could be a blessing
at the same time
is a cruel,
harsh curse.
Author's Note:
I signed up for poetry prompts, which is what I’ll be using for my poems from now on. The prompt for this was about being in disbelief by someone who could be a blessing to you, and at the same time could be a curse. This poem is about someone who has come into your life who you, at once, thought was special, coming to you at a time that you thought was perfect. But then you soon discover they were nothing but a curse, bringing nothing but hurt.
