What You Deserve

What You Deserve

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

When you fall in love,
you should feel lighter.

Trust me when I say:
I’ll scare you too much.
Every lover, shot dead.

We could never be
Legendary Lovers...
mistakes are slowly
drowning me.
My traumas mislead me.

You need to hear
how much you
mean to someone.
To know that
love is here and
here to stay.

These are my words
and you deserve better
than whatever I’ve given.

Now this one just breaks my heart to read. It's always hard to have to broach this with the ones you love and care about, and you've certainly captured that aspect well here.
"When you fall in love,
you should feel lighter. "
Feeling light is one thing. I don't have much experience in having a significant other, but I'm sure it takes a lot of work in order to feel lighter, haha.
I'm reminded of the song "The Promise" by In This Moment when I read this poem.
Great job here!

Such a honest rendering, the words seem to have so fallen in their just place. You put them there thank you for this brilliant illustration yes, illustration of the pent some and smudged some colours, dull some faded, sodden in misery, happy some, breathless some... It was hard it was, in the story. I can see just how these words so... wayward, so true Thank you Svetlana for this brilliant poem You have such a beautiful name

This just made me ache, the feelings of pain, of this sorrow of self worth. The heart of love is there, offering all that is beautiful, even if it means saying goodbye. That is love... that is true love... to wish the best for the one you adore... no matter what.
