And He Gets The Girl (C)7-28-2011 Poem by Zahir Kijani

So it seemed my mind and heart showed me some things that mirrored fantasy
And I knew I shouldn't believe em
My right mind said to leave em, my stomach said swallow your pride
Because in the end you're gonna realize peace of heart versus pain is much more relieving
And as much as I know he was right I couldn't sit and swallow my pride
I had acid reflux and a closed throat but my mouth was opened up wide
And said, 'Hey what is the worst that could happen in this situation
I could agree with your wisdom and give my hearts grief more stipulation
But instead, I'm in bed and I can't continue livin like this
Sad and hurt because every girl I liked seemed to resist
And it's worth a try, as I go by the rule I just might not die
So if I don't die I won't let too many days go by without givin a try
So I did...
I said to her 'Now how long has it been since the very first day
I met you and I saw you in a certain light but didn't realize in that way
The way of love conjured up between four years in my history
And it's funny how I never noticed I was in love with you, remains a mystery
But all I ask is that you just give me a chance.'
She looked the other way and said 'I'm honored by your romance
I'm flattered that you would pursue me and with enough pressure applied
But I would've lied if I said I had the same feelins to hide
I don't wanna hurt our friendship but I love the fact that you tried.'
I felt the pain of all my organs eroding inside
I started to walk away but somethin blinded me from the screen
It was the image of my heart and mind and I'm in between
My Vena amoris vein wrapped me tight and threw me on the floor
I didn't know how many times it'd do it and how much could be endured
It tightened around my neck and positioned me in front of my heart
He said 'Corey I swear sometimes I don't even know where to start
I can't believe this is all it takes to get you to leave
I showed you the images of your success what more do you need? '
My mind grabbed me and yelled, 'Actually he created the image but I brought em to light
And with all that work I put in, yo sorry self won't even put up a fight? '
My heart dragged me across the floor and said you better have her by the end of the night
Cause if I see pitiful you again this heart'll attack with a strong left and a right
My vein let me go and I was back starin into her eyes
Her chocolate skin glimmering with light from the moons mystic shine
I rolled up my sleeves preparing for dramatic effect
Because the threats sent to me, bein pitiful isn't somethin I need easy for my heart to detect
So I said 'Baby listen to me, I've told you more things than I'd tell 'only a friend'
My love has been poured over you continuously and I'll remind you again
That I don't plan on being only friends forever with the one that I love
That's what love is for to take 'friendship' and 'like' and together it shoves
The two makin a bond inseparable even by divine intervention
I think of you as a queen of the whole inhabited world and my arms an extention
That comes with an eternal guarantee that our friendship won't tarnish over somethin so trivial
And if it does you can get a full refund and me as a slave too with an attitude not artificial
I know I sound desperate but these times usually call for equal measures
I promise you I'll treat you more delicately than the treasures in heaven.'
I put my head down ready to face defeat and said 'So what do you say?
She lifted my head and looked in my eyes as she whispered, 'Okay.'
