You Deserve Better

You Deserve Better

You deserve better
like the rose
with a thorny stem

You deserve better
like the lonely seed
in the pear’s pod

You deserve better
like the lonely star
1500 light-years
from its nearest neighbour

You deserve better
like a house
with no roof

You are the pineapple
supported by a sturdy stem
but alone you stand
longing for your likes

The whale’s loud noise
looking for his closest mate
shakes the ocean like
it is a sign of horror.
