Love

by Cicero Liao

Hit me.
Show me I was right.
All I can be is right.
Wound me and show me the world is cruel.
Why are you so cruel if there is so much love? Why couldn’t I have had that love?
If I am not unworthy, all I have been is unlucky.
Can I believe it is fated so?
I was always too skeptical for destiny.
I have prayed,
I have begged,
I have clung to hope with bloodied fingertips.
Show me the love.
