Asleep not

Asleep not, my muse begins to trot,
Evoking whispers of willow
In my memorial mirage.
Asleep not, my concern is hot.
It has nothing to pillow 
But your cold corsage.

Solely awake solely in wait
Whether affectional arrears 
Find the atonement too late
To recoup your stray tears. 

Half desirous half in despair
How my wistful heart dithers 
When into thin air 
Years of attendance withers.
