Failing To Win
Memorable moments mystified by gilted pardons,
Iridescent solicitude.
Exclusiveness of me and you.
Purge uncertainties born historically of mislaid intent.
Time presently misspent.
Risked future wagered,
Unbelievable carelessness.
Could one ever surrender fate?
Retrospectively regretful.
Oblivious to your affection,
Anticipated rejection,
Trecharous resurrection.
Should have known better...
Radiance nothing more than a shimmer,
Basking in your aura of indifference,
Admittance to thine self,
Radiance only existed in sight of mine.
Capitulation of souls into feign eternity of sentiment.
No desire to allow our beings to grow for the horizons to follow.
That was our definition.
Somewhat a fool I admit.
Unnecessary pretence.
Insolence pasted across your face.
Incessant disdain,
Safeguarded me of all my aches and my pains.
Indestructible walls,
Higher than before,
Shield my broken heart and shattered dreams .
Buried in expired devotion.
No windows for light to shine through.
No escape,
No sign of a door.
Time to let the healing begin.
No where to go.
Sit tight sugar,
My lesson has been learned.
Nothing more humbling than failing to win.
