Ones and zeroes
GreekCatPerson April 22nd
Ones and zeros is what I do get
two states of life I can’t forget,
unsolvable problems I never met
ones and zeros is what I do get.

I faced this life with no regret.
No, I lie, I had plenty to get,
things I wish I could soon forget,
my past with doubts filled it did get.

I always ran some right or left,
quick decisions I was so deft,
fixing errors I was so adept,
I threw me both feet and all the heft.

Even my love was right or was left,
even If my heart was lost in theft.
I picked the path I thought was best,
piled any regret with all the rest.

This love I have, I barely get,
not one, not zero, I never met
it fills my heart and spins my head,
law even physics have never met.

Ones and zeros is what I do get,
And you, my Princess, I cannot forget,
for once this love has no regret,
even if zero chance I do get.

@GreekCatPerson I'm not the best at understanding poetry. So forgive me if i say anything wrong ❤ first of all your way with words is truly beautiful ❤ don't give up on love, it is actually all around you, your princess will find you❤❤ don't dwell on missed chances, or regrets, there will be other opportunities. Hugs you tightly ❤ thanks for sharing your poem ❤

Hi Greek.

You write in your bio: "I'm a man. I'm broken. Nobody cares."

That is not a true statement. You'll find many persons who care about you here at 7Cups. (I'm one of them). So many persons are broken in this world (and 7Cups). I guess you know the song: "There is a crack in everything, that's where the light come in." Leonard Cohen. I am a Christian. If you want me to pray for you, just tell.
