Hole in the Universe

The fabric of the universe, it seems to me
has a hole where things aren’t as they ought to be.
Whenever there’s fire, something has to get burned,
but a smoldering love is not always returned.
The earth in a rainstorm will always get wet.
It seems love would shower both lovers, and yet –
though I fiercely loved him, so constant and strong,
something in the universe seemed to go wrong –
a wonder of science, a mystery so rare,
an odd circumstance that can never be fair.
It seems so impossible, how can it be?
For as much as I loved him, he never loved me.
