Missed opportunity
Relapsed, broken, twisted, watching the damn door everytime it swings open
anticipating your entrance, gregarious everyone will stare
your warmth radiates the room but none comes my way
My breath fails and a sigh escapes my overt lips
I drop my eyes to my pounding chest, I can not see you, see me looking,as hungry as I do voraciously wanting to consume and be consumed by you
I hear my heart beating fast faster each beat sounding out your name
I close my eyes lashes frame my face, they hide the turmoil I am sinking in
Then I open my eyes I am back in the room
I see the downturned faces looking at their desks and work stations
I see their frowns, their brows furrowed in concentration
but you never walked into that room it was wishful thinking
plain and simple
and you never will
that ship sailed a long time ago
you are just the misty rembrants
of a missed opportunity
I wished I'd known you.
And I always will
And I still do
