Chelsea Who Shall Never Know

When you entered the room I played possum

Passing on another chance for friendship to blossom

Averted my gaze with all my other senses wide open

Yet not for a moment was my silence broken

Not a smile nor a wave not any friendly token

Even with all my longings having awoken

As time goes on my chances dwindle

It's less and less likely for friendship to be kindled

My feelings are buried... darkened and grimy

It's my own sorry fault that my efforts are stymied

Who'll peel away the petals that protect my deep longings

As I feel your approach I'm freakishly absconding

I've placed you high on a lofty pedestal

Placed you where my heart and mind are most impenetrable

In the remotest chambers are things seldom discussed

If I were to divulge them you would surely be nonplussed

Hardly impressed with their sheer awkwardness

Confused by the rudeness within which they're dressed

In the twilight of my verses in a storybook realm

Laced with my desires with which I'm overwhelmed

Under the guise of fiction do covert thoughts stand nakedly

Warmly embraced and safely encased in this sanctity

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one a few years ago about a woman who for a long time I quietly admired.
