Defeated

Acceptance attempted, failed Although alone, I knew to be Yearned for you more, had I knowing our differences Another had I expected not to enter The tips of your fingers, denies my plummet no more. Even through error, had my mind never grasped the thought Admission was to end my fall; our friendship was to be replenished Gradually more was to flourish My hopes soared , cut to its roots You were not waiting - it was I, who felt. Findings so clear, I wish it was false You spoke to another, casually yet with precision What was articulated, could not be unheard My cards had I released, knowing the joy was foregone Tears restrained, knowing a depart was imminent. In my wake, do I doubt the reality A sombre night, a sombre morning My imperfections existed, even through facades Your presence, polished the blemishes The depths of the marks, now a hole. Another effort, my prayers had sought Your response was seen, reciprocal this could be Time had I assumed it in wait, for me to rekindle Your moving on, delivering my faith's corpse My pursuit curtailed; continuation in vain.
