Her gaze got the best of me
Burning bright and mahogany
Conversation-soliloquy
I framed my fervor in filigree
hollow gestures, a pantomime
She just wanted to pass the time
Nearly twenty, too juvenile
To be anything more than tactile
A crowded room, a compact tableau
I still look for her where I go
A stubborn habit, it’s hard to quell
Maybe too callous, but I meant well
A little less than fortuitous
Resolution eluded us
Two strings, discordant synchronies
My pride, my wounded dignity

I've been listening to Hippo Campus a lot and I love the way they write so this is a very basic attempt at the style! Thanks for stoppin by
