Again

-*-

I know,

I did it again;

I went for a coffee,

I found you instead.

-*-

What's next?

what can I say?

what's worse than my silence?

what a rotten decay...

-*-

Not a clue,

not talent to spare;

not magical lighting,

not true grit in here.

-*-

So sad,

so painful to wear;

so obvious in need but,

so fearful to care.

-*-

oh well,

oh Queen of my Heart;

oh, don't you be worry,

oh, I'll come back again.

    That part about fearing to care was so relatable. Been hurt too many times and I just cannot go through all that again. Loved your poem!
