What is it like to be in love without a chance?

a story/poem type thing writtin on a napkin in Waffle House. Mmmm... WAFFFLLLLEEES

What it’s like to be in love without a chance: As if a woman of fortune, wealth, with fine furred coats and rich clothing was looking down at a beggar, cursed by the gods. She looks at him with an upturned nose to his state. The beggar looks upon her, but to no avail. No scheme wins her heart; no physical change, nor mind, pleases the woman of such wealth. The beggar’s mind clears for sometime. He is pleased and content with not being able to hold her. Yet, the woman takes off her fur coats and trappings of royalty. He gazes upon her. Helios shines bright, yet dim, in the evening. He makes it so she is perfect, the light not marring such beauty. At this time, he sees her. She is human, no higher status. The wealth is momentarily gone. Truly, he falls to his knees. For he lays eyes upon an angel. The beggar stands and averts his eyes painfully. He knows he still cannot have her.

This was done at Waffle House! the greatest place! oh belgium waffles! I'm hungry...
right the poem/story. I really liked it, normaly someone would just tell a story about
two people from different worlds and make it long. But you went extreme and wrote about
a rich lady and a begger. I really enjoyed how you showed us the gap between them but when
she removed her 'trappings of royalty' (love that description) she was just a person...but still a
person he couldn't have. And I can read the poem side to it, you did that very well. Great piece

[..R.I.P..]

This describes the "gap" so perfectly. I loved this poem/story. But I wouldn't be the rich, I'd be the begger.
