PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

All I wanted was to give you more than a wink

But the world’s too large, and people too small

So I had to sit back and settle for a drink



And you probably stare and wonder what I think

as I sit quietly and sip on a high ball

But all I wanted was to give you more than a wink



Then you were gone and I started to sink

deeper into the plush chair I’d fall

And wondered why I only settled for a drink



I piece puzzle pieces, trying to find a link

between the words wrapped in a wall

of not speaking at all; so all I could do was wink



So it’s back to the drawing board I think

to attempt again the next time you call

All I wanted was to give you more than a wink

Next time I won’t even order the drink
