Every future man in my life
Will have immeasurable shoes to fill,
And an enormous pedestal to stand upon,
Because you are a Knight in shining armor
But clichés imply simplicity
And our relationship is far from simple.
Women search forever for men of your worth
And although I am one of them,
Finding you does not mean a thing
If I don’t love you.
I know I will find no greater
Than what I have found in you,
Nor will I settle for less than you have given me.
Our relationship is toxic.
It has doomed me to a life of endless searching,
For men like you are nearly impossible to find.
It was a miracle that I was lucky enough
To find one Prince Charming,
A man worthy of being my soulmate …
But to my misfortune,
Romantic love is the one emotion
Absent from what we share,
And I will never find another.
Author notes
In your description, you said it didn't need to be two sided, and you like a struggle...so I hope a zero-sided love is fine...since, basically, it's a woman's struggle, wishing she could love someone who is absolutely perfect for her.
If this isn't okay, meh, I don't mind not being elligible. I'm happy with the poem, and I'm glad I wrote it. Just let me know if you want me to take it out of the contest.

I hope you find what you're looking for; I was a little confused by the poem itself because at first it seems like you are saying you are happy with him but then it abruptly changes with the revelation of the relationship being toxic. All the best, ea

Nermin Nazim Nazim, I'm a little confused about your comment. What do you mean about pressure to say one is a loser? Do you mean that the person who is in this position (the one of the poem) is usually called the loser for letting an opportunity like this pass?
And you weren't wrong about what?
I thank you SO much for your comment, I'm just a little confused...
And yes, it is definitely a horrible situation to go through...

great write
I love the idea and how you put it and phrase it. A terrible situation one has gone through, unfortunatly people pressure one to say one is a loser to give up a person like that.
you are right and it is a very clear concept that tells me I wasnt wrong. beautiful -
Just out of curiosity, what were you expecting near the end, Danoz?
Thanks for reading I appreciate it.

I think you did that very well mate. I enjoyed it. Not what i expected though towards the end. But i love a seemingly good love poem with a (in your words) "toxic" twist Good job
Keep up the good work and good luck with the contest you're in!
