An Aromantic Ballad

Text

They ask me why I cannot love

Unaware I am brimming with it.

Friendship is my yarn

And I truly love to knit.

Romance is not my priority

I am not interested in alloromantic superiority.

I love my friends

And I love myself.

I just don't want a husband

Through sickness and through health.

I am a person

And I am whole.

I simply do not require romance

To make up my soul.
