Love Poem: Solid As a Rock

Solid As a Rock

In your eyes, I’m a nobody
Not much worth a look
Left unnoticed in one corner 
Where no one saw me weep
Do I look unappealing, I wonder

Tried flashing a bright smile
Under the blinding noon sky
But still your eyes avoid mine
And you look past way beyond
Do I look blurry, I wonder

Finally, I caught a glimpse
When you tripped on my sore foot
But your gaze seemed ablaze
As if I was a lump on the road
Do I look frail, I wonder

Forgotten and uncared for
I felt exhausted and weak
Under the heat of the sun I rested
Till the storm passed through the night
Must I hold on, I wonder

One thing though is certain
I may be bruised and broken
But the love I have for you 
Remains solid as a rock
