Sighs of dismay permeated her confused thinkingLying on her back a mess prodding her mind
Furtively through her heart slowly but prancing
With the slow music an accompaniment to dine
But alone facing up the sky just quietly blinking
Dressed but chained in her mind searingly disabled
Anxious her system inside beginning to scream
Visit long awaited but nowhere seemed probable
Kicked up a fuss earlier preparing a hot meal
To a level beyond that she was used to do
Trying to trump a good impression to seal
A relationship well nurtured and way overdue
Heat of romance seemingly like a hot summer day
Overwhelmed with a cloak of floating snow flakes
Was it going to be a bust his presence a long delay
She was stood up again by yet another of the fakes
A very interesting take on the piece!
ReplyDeleteYour choice to create a backstory was clever. I appreciate the angle you took here!
ReplyDeleteShafted again...
ReplyDeleteHow very disappointing for her again. We must watch out for those fakes.
ReplyDeleteYou set up the heartbreak here: "Trying to trump a good impression to seal A relationship well nurtured and way overdue"...painful to realize he's just another fake.
ReplyDeleteHank I like the context you built around this figure.
