Locked in a Vacancy

Locked in a Vacancy


Smitten by your inner beauty 
a shared value system 
interest similarities 
time spent together cherished 
thoughts of you when we're apart 
a learned stoic broken 
staring through silent eyes 
so easy to look at 

Your lips 
your hips 
your smile 
your kiss 
your hair 
your face 
your warm 
embrace! 

Conversation comes easy 
learning from each other's insight 
nihilistic disposition 
deadened, by your facetiousness 

But is it mutual? 

Mixed signals cause confusion 
and apprehension - hesitation 
searching 
north, west, south, west 
for a sign 
before my window of opportunity 
slams shut 

'Cause it's not mutual 

But I'll survive 
just like the last time 
after all 
we can still be friends, right? 

Things'll never 
be the same 
between us, between us 

Annihilate! 

It's not the same!
