A Life Unanswered
How is it
You were completely unaware
That the innocence that laced
The edge of my being was
Brutally unraveled
each time you spoke my name?
Why is it
that the feelings that were
reserved
for you never found their way
across my lips to caress you
as they should have?
When was it that I
finally succumbed
to my inevitable truth?
That as I long for you,
You course through her
Because I never learned
to fight for
what I wanted.
How can it be that
though I tried,
I was never the one
who lit you up like
July fireworks
and
I was nothing more to you
than the whisper of a friendship
that had no meaning.
