![]() SixA Poem by Shui![]() This was written wrt an unrequited love![]() When you didn’t try, and I didn’t mind because like anything that intrigued me, you would soon die away. But in six, you remain a perennial continuance At six, you send butterflies in my stomach By six I would lose you again. You didn’t seem to realize that I am always behind A backdrop, almost a ubiety. I would have preferred to flounder, for my throat to cut my words or to be led into a fluster. But events were never fortuitous. What happened to the girl who would stumble on her feet in his sight Or the boy who would steal peeks when they brushed across each other along the corridors Who would have known how adamant she could be Helpless for a better word. Before six she faltered After six is a point of no return © 2016 Shui |
