A dream is more than a dream

I don't think so

Sick of 

Such nonsense

Pondering 

Feeling fluff and stuff

Avoiding

I've had enough

Wondering

Waiting

True hearts belated

Happy cherub, wing related

Narrow-minded

Not

An arrow found

What is this sound

"Hear the calling," he says

Airspace's bow pulls back

Unattached

Latch lacking key

What about me

Listening intently

"Hark"

I hear nothing

Red means Amor

Worthless chore

Angry and lonely

When evidence matters

Heart bruises

 Like 

Paint splatters

Breathing through heartbleeds

Switching it up

Replace

Unreciprocated faces

My unmet needs

Yearnings

Equals

Unacquired learnings

Ridiculous

At best

Of course

There is no love for me

❤️ Now read backward to reveal a different meaning
