The Stranger

A Poem

He’s just a stranger who knows how to praise

& I‘m scared of his ways because it’s only been a few days;

We have nothing to talk about, yet a lot to say

I’m feeling the waves, yet not ready to face;

My heart says, no more delays

But my mind speaks about it, being just a phase;

I have no faith, but still, I want him to chase

He told me to be brave, yet made my heart a slave;

I don’t want him to take that place, as I don’t believe those love tales

He’s everything my soul craves, but I’m already done with people being fake;

My heart asks me if he can stay

I said “No!” and rested my case!
