Now Unfelt
Twas once a time you owned my heart,
then Laura stole it back
Through all those years our hearts on fire,
she waited and she sat
She hoped one day our lives would part,
to never meet, as then…
Her voice so soft had cried at night,
“I want you back again”
“You need to promise me this time,
you’ll never leave me cold
“And even if you dally forth,
your Muse I will behold
“To heal you of this tragic drought,
you brought upon yourself
“And give you back the future-past
—whose presence now unfelt”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
