Failed Glances

Just maybe, it would be enough if I stayed right here,

Looking at your broad grins, soothing my achen soul for you to come near

Just maybe, if I could absorb all the sins you've committed,

You'd be a pale and flawless man, and would still be the one who always fitted.

It would be enough if I could secretly observe your towering stature

Your Andalusian gait,

Your boisterous nature

Your mystifying faith.

Women of ages unknown that surround your gregarious frame and lo!

Every anonymous feminine wink that you get, leaves my center a destructive inferno.

Yet, here I stand with faults immeasurable,

Stares uncontrollable

Growing dolor unimaginable

Yet, I know the emotions felt will ultimately die like gamble.

If your pitch dark eyes could just take a glance and look,

At the infatuated soul that longs for your life all over again,

Perhaps mine, which hangs carelessly on a hook

My afflictions that marred your unified breaths and delivered pain.

I did possess a heart, what a fortuitous play,

It couldn't just be mine, but yours too

I couldn't fly about lone anymore, your life is a gift for me to slay

After so, our hearts will be driven in love again, a feel bestowed upon a few.

You sense a ghoul presence, yet you don't quiver,

Your head turns to where I stand

Somehow, you take a glance and let go, leaving me to shiver,

A failed glance, I knew you would never understand.

A dead soul receives nothing but a regrettable woe,

Yet, I prayed to live again, invisible just to see you

I see how your eyes weep for me, they see death as an unforgivable foe

I stepped down from the realms of eternity to pull me through

If you could see me see you

And not take a sudden glance

You might see through my eyes into my smitten soul,

And not just a phantom that is suspended in vacuum,

Your sight won't fail to see my love-struck prance.
