Grape tree

We meet again

How can it be

Emotional atrophy

I don't mean to be mean

I just don't know what to say

Head bowed I silently walk away

I know I'm better than this

Have made a hundred and one cry

I should have stayed to talk some more

But I was the one who said goodbye

Deep down I know it's wrong

Perhaps I am only in denial

To him your heart belongs

This is all a wasteful trial

But I get lost in you over and over again

Disarmed by that face

Broken down, without defenses

And that smile

Such bitterness, such delight

The only one of it's kind

Your eyes talk

They pour into my soul

If we could see eye to eye

My heart would explode

Your grace and demeanor

Your sarcasm and wit

A million conversations waiting

A lifetime of exploring

A year or so too late

Perhaps a bit too late
