Cliche

By sproutsy

What I wanted to say

was all cliche.

But I didn`t speak,

I was too meek.

Instead I stared,

I acted impaired.

I behaved like a fool,

you became aloof.

A rueful smile on my face,

I imagine your embrace.

Do you wonder why

I didn`t say goodbye?

    Standing in the wings

    at the faltering stage

    I was waiting for a show to begin;

    vying, trying to make it some way

    and find words to say

    that all I would need was a part to play;

    but the time for my lines hadn’t ever been consigned -

    so the scene, it passed me by.

    Unrequited love hurts worse when the object of that love is unaware of your feelings.
