Countless times,
I have blinked and outdone myself
I have worshiped the blades of
your careful syllables
And in between each pause I
am spellbound and
seeking closure
Perhaps you have not noticed,
I speak and listen to a
tune much like yours
And I tie red ribbons around
my hands to remind me of
the time it all faltered
The one sign that told me our
destinies would never mix
