Forgone Love Poem by Benjamin Wiche

It all happened
before my feeling
took its root
in the land of love

My heart fainted
a thousand times,
my lips couldn't say
the words I had
lucked up in my head

I played the script
of beautiful moments
it was all in my head
an imagination
I wished was real,
a fantasy I live in

A deal I could not negotiate
Keep fighting myself
was waiting for me
I wasn't a keeper now I'm alone

Dreaming of affection
That can't be gotten
It's meaningless hoping
I now pay attention
