The Welting Chess Board

sappy beginnings

You can have it all,
Just imagine.
I can create it all,
I can make it happen.

Give me the chance I need,
To show you the universe.
Grant me your permission,
And I'll show you more than a verse.

Step down from your high chair,
I'll bring it to your feet.
Come to me,
My heart won't skip a beat.

Grab my hand,
We'll go on a journey.
Hop on the train,
I'll show you I'm worthy.

Your love is what I crave,
It's essential.
Our lives together?
It has potential.

But you haven't come down,
To feel my callused skin.
I'm wondering where you went,
Where you've been.

I've sat here for ages,
Waiting for your smile.
Sadly that's not in store for me,
I guess I'm not worth your while.

I've shown to you that I can prove it,
You just need to try.
We could venture to the farthest corners of the globe,
We could touch the sky.

Why aren't you coming,
Or were you never planning it?
As you sit there looking at me through the glass,
You make me feel like an idiot.

An idiot to think it was possible,
That is was in the cards for me.
I know I'm not all you want,
That we can agree.

I thought if I confessed,
You'd say "Why not?"
No you say something along the lines of,
"We simply cannot."
