A Victorian Romance in the 21st Century

She misses someone she

has never met.

She starves for something

she can never have.

In fact, she thirsts after a

drink that does not even exist.

Not many know, but this is

her kryptonite. Her forever

weakness, curse.

It is the one permanent,

empty, lonely void in her life

that overtime, her hope diminishes.

It is the one thing she honestly feels

will never be fulfilled.

She wants too much. She convinces.

herself that maybe she demands

too much.

It is as if she is seeking a

perfect resume for a job

that is much too complicated

because she is the occupation.

She constantly wonders if she

will forever be alone. Will she

ever get the privileged to be a

mother, she asks herself?

She has much to offer, or at least

she once thought she did. Maybe

truthfully she has nothing to offer

at all. Better yet, nothing that

anyone in this day and age is

interested in.

She has convinced herself she

does not deserve it. She tells

herself that she deserves to

be alone. Her mind twirls with the

thought that maybe she functions

better alone.

What she wants is impossible.

All she wants is a real, Godly,

romantic relationship. Her throat

thirsts for it and her heart aches

for it. What she wants is impossible

because she is looking for a

Victorian relationship in the 21st century.

It does not exist in the dark,

poisonous, corrupt 21st century.
