I looked calm but my heart wrestled against itself in my
chest
She couldn't see but my words gave me away, I was incoherent
I would pay to have this company, but out of her volition
stand her next to me
My dream unfolding before my eyes
I had overlooked humiliation to get her number to call
Better to spit my heart out than lament all night
Disappointment met my calls and my text unrequited
Perhaps, wrong timing I said to myself a week ago
This instance, stand I next to the damsel
The reason for my sleeplessness
She stands a goddess, character unblemished and beauty I had
worshiped
Alas, she smiled and simply implied NO
Tonight for reminiscences
But no more sleeplessness for the same cause.
