Not to be

by JBarberio - Aries



The first words are spoken with the absence of grace, 
Such anxious gazes as we stand face-to face,

Our shallow exchange, like two perfect strangers,
Yet somehow I knew my heart was in danger.

Time passed on swiftly, yet love did not show, 
Had I planted a seed that was not meant to grow?

Foolishly I continued, with ardent desire,
Perhaps the next spark will kindle the fire.

But it was not meant to be; a pill I must swallow,
My heart, once so filled, will go away hollow
 
Alone again, a restless young man, 
And so it ends, just as it began.
