Stalemate

A poem written some time ago, yet one of my personal favorites. Inspired by the obvious.

She hides in silence

Keeping me away,

Becoming an island,

Yet still I stay

I approach you and hit a wall

I want to crush it and watch it fall

She’s a mystery

One of a kind

We’ve got history

And a similar mind

We made a breakthrough that night

Our fingers joined under moonlight

Her apathetic barricade

My bubbly shield

Tis our mask, made

Resistance to be revealed

My hopes and fears combine into a curse

You’re just like me only worse

Ever since that time,

I’ve wanted it back

Her hand in mine

Beneath starry black

But time goes by, opportunities escape

You and I are left here to wait

She’s a closed door

A lunar eclipse

Time for action before

The opportunity is missed
