lovely lonesome

i wish you would hold me
like you hold my gaze
when our eyes meet from across the
room
it's heavy and silent;
inquiring
in that fleeting moment,
there is a regretful twinge
in my heart,

because i'm afraid

it's all in my head
and that in failing
for another coincidence

so i'll sulk home in my lonesome
i'll drink my tears like
the finest wine,
and spend the night wasted,
like all of our potential
