Your tan won't matter,
nor will leather shoes.
A wink, an eyelash flutter
Eyes that look only through

Her darkness penetrating
your light, but a dream
Inside her silent fountain
you, a trickle touch of stream

Your perfume may entice her
A cleanly shaven caress
But to get down inside her
march through your own mess

To really get down inside her
all you knew stands in your way
**** all your shine and shimmer
the polished opinions thrown away

Even on your knees, she cannot see
Even your serenade, she cannot hear
The only volume she can muster
is the volume of your love or fear.

Stand, sit, lean or cower
Poetry, curses, gold or brown
Dive into her world of power
Leaving ripples without a sound.

Unrequited love.

even the name is depressing

love that's given but not returned

what's so ******* special about you that

you've turned my insides outside?

everything. everything about you is special

maybe you're doing me a favor

until i can wake up each morning and not have you

etched in my brain,

i will continue to weep silently and sew the gaping hole

in my heart

stitch by painstaking stich
