Enlightenment Sunset: Romantic ImproVerse Free Verse Lament

Oh! Thou foolish,/
silly man,/
ripping open/
and exposing your heart,/
thinking that proclamations made,/
from distance,/
made late,/
will draw her in/
and capture her,/
and change her mind,/
when you really still hold/
the power/
and need to make/
the choices that are best,/
for you, /
not through loneliness,/
not through competition,/
but because you can/
see your path/
clearly. /

Suck it up/
buttercup.

intelligence
and deep soul
would not draw someone
smart enough
to be kind and caring,
deeply,
always.

When he learned how she was,
he asked,
because she shouldn’t be
alone
as she was,
and he knew he
could change that
and her.

Because when she says she’s “sort of seeing someone”,
she’s admitting that she’s also kind of not.
