A Penny For My Thoughts

You passed by me in the hallway for two years
Two years full of pain and tears
I never thought you would notice
I don't think I would what ever think this
But the way you looked at her
The way you'd pay attention to her
It hurt inside, it hurt so deep
And all I could manage was a peep
A penny for my thoughts
One look at my art and all I see is blots
You were so close, but so far
So near, I'm now at a bar
And to think you are mine
Maybe even an eternal bind
It's a bit a pose
And even a rose
What the heck is the catch?
If only it wasn't so much of a match
You liked her
Go be with her
No... stay with me
And we could be-
A penny for my thoughts
The fresh cut's blood clots
If time heals wounds and scars fade
Maybe you won't have to aid
My every step in life
To think it could end with a knife
It's so complicated
Though you've never really dated
Handle this fragile love with care
And we might make a pair
Like everyone says
A quote as vast as the seas
