his absolute criminal good looks
could have easily been taken out of the pages
from one of my romance books
his heart was knotted up, angry, hurt and cold
but the fire of my sweet spirit unthawed its hardened
ice and managed to loosen its hold
such uncertain emotions shouldn't be allowed such
powerful liberties
I heard the desperate cry from his affections indifference
but ignored its pitiful pleas
I saw the forest fully but still tripped over all
of its trees
unbeknownst to me while attempting to drive him into
my awaiting arms I drove myself to my very own knees
and while I was hunched over trying to relight the
badly needed flame
he located my Achillies heel and left before the
end of the game............
