IW Poem: Try Again or Walk Away

Reflection from the mirror, staring at melancholy.

Perhaps it’s time

To let go of this enchantment, sentimental.

Just when I thought it would end, there you are again

Not noticing my presence, yet now I have an alibi

To smile the smile of a damsel.

 

Destiny has made you glow.

Perhaps it’s meant to be

Unrequited yet I will; I will go on without fear.

So let me hold your hand

Even though my heart is in pain,

I’ll tell you the story, like a recount from a camera.

 

“Face to face and a thousand miles apart”

I pray for you to be blest, “but if you wanna cry, cry on my shoulder”

By your side is where I’ll stay, in the starlit sky and in the stormy sea.

Whisper, and whisper, tears that want to be heard by you;

When I rest my head on your chest,

Please listen to what my heart says.
