Maybe I read her wrong
all this time
and all along

my writing always unanswered
my pleads go unnoticed
these days
these feelings
are just
all out of focus

Maybe she is no more
than the rest
no more better
but so much less

those glamor girls
with over-sized hats
cosmos
and pearls

unrealistic women
with unrealistic vision
never preferring a realistic man
with a realistic mission

She is educated. a romantic
which bode well for me
she even respected the written word
and loved my poetry

but now it seems
she's thrown me away
I make one mistake
and become just another cast away

just one more excuse
to keep her heart
at bay

someone that's
emotionally unavailable
or simply unattainable

having never received my rights
no matter how
unalienable

girls with the goo goo eyes
expecting a perfect man
with perfect thighs

money
sculpted
and looks

this superficial world
with its superficial hooks

no heart
no art
no soul

for when time came to play
with two boys that'd like to stay

no respect for their feelings
no respect for their expectations
no respect for their dreams
no respect for their aspirations

one man performs
drumming
drumming drumming
always a rum, a tum, tumming

and another left in waiting
outside on the stoop
like some poor puppy
with ears that droop

always some illness
always some excuse
to get away

just another reason
to leave her heart at bay

but when the girls come to call
it was always hell yeah
no excuses
the girls are balls to the wall

maybe she's promiscuous
maybe a tramp
maybe we just fell into
a clever harlot trap

but she seems so gentle
so coy so shy
so sensitive and sweet
hoping hoping
one of us is the right guy

choices choices
so many choices

do we call her
do we stay quiet

are you really blind to notice
when good men are dieing for you
when good men are crying for you

or maybe we were just wrong
all this time
and all along

Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong, but this write is quite a treat and a view into the psyche of a man's yearning heart.

You write well and always succeed in giving the words impact and rhythm.

Love,
Margherita

To call or not to call
That is the question
Whether it is nobler in the mind to call and risk rejection.
Or suffer not the slings and arrows of the outrages  of rejection and not call to end all possibility of pain.
Personally I'd call, the worst, she says no and laughs at you for being a fool. They do that sometimes.
Oh, well, what the hell, you'll figure it out.
Intelligent write!!!

Whether it is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of rejection or not to call and end a sea of troubles, yes end them.
Okay, what's the worst that can happen: she rejects you and calls you a fool(some do that), and you spend  a week beating your head on the wall and cursing yourself.
Can someone out there answer this question.
Enjoyed your write!!!
