"I dream of a happy ending." by Alena Peacock

One Poem Only · Oct 18, 2025 · 1m

I dream of a happy ending.

Perfect and unyielding.

A quiet love,

so loud,

its deafening.

Where I would not ever have to question their affection.

I'd be so sure of this love,

anxiety would dissipate.

One filled with faultless words of promise, burning with hope.

A brilliant,

irreplaceable light,

matching mine.

An almost planned,

adventurous future,

that I could see in their eyes.

Eventually,

this ending will find me.
