Cavern Inside

a poem

There is a cavern deep in me

which I had always sworn would be

filled with the love of just one

a precious soul, rivals none

while there is a truth to this

as life with love’s life with bliss

slowly I have come to find

that how I saw this in my mind

couldn’t have been more untrue

discovered after I met you

unearthed a secret part of this

hole inside which had been missed

could not be filled by someone else

but love for me, from myself

I could never find the one

until I have myself become

the person I am meant to be

maybe then—you and me
