"forgone conclusion"



This is my confession if you haven't known already.
It has been burned at the altar in dreams since I was young.
While her face is etched in memory much like her teddy,
gifts given in advance in return for the unsung.

Dreams that can not escape me, dreams that have driven hearts,
I have written a thousand miles, hit send many thousands more.
While she has read them for this I wasn't sure on her part,
in the dark while having received only one report.

I have fought my emotions rationalized them all away,
to no avail as it were, while my heart led me back to her,
in those moments feeling warmth remembering dreams of Kay.
But, my mind had to know to find out what would occur.

Yesterday, I wrote terrible lies to see what may,
if ever there would come a time to see a reaction,
I was sure there wouldn't be? I'd given up in dismay.
She blocked me!:-) But, she knows she can't block my hearts caption.

She has another Facebook page for me to say it's you,
my heart has returned to forgive my mind to uncover,
truths from deep within, memories to strong to defend through,
emotions to inhabit on freeways to discover.

Butterflied garters black lace eyelets for souls to mate,
from pink fields of golden lacewing flown up so ever chased,
so sweet her love her silk white glove she's so lavender stained,
sweet cherry laced burning rain with lips so sweet her taste.
