Early Morning Regrets

Alarm clock blares,
I jerk awake,
My dreams evaporate.
Memories flare,
I start to shake,
I think “is it to late?”

I know my mind,
It’s clear to me,
Just what I want from you.
But love is blind,
I couldn’t see,
You may not want me too.

I couldn’t tell,
How much you felt,
And I assumed the worst.
So my heart fell,
From the blow dealt,
If only I’d known it first!

By acting rash,
We’re now apart,
Yet somehow understand,
That in a flash,
Through broken heart,
We know just where we stand.

I don’t know how,
To turn you on;
Just what I need to do.
I guess that now,
My chance is gone,
And fate decides for you.

All I can do,
Is sit and pray,
And hope that things work out.
I do want you,
To lust my way,
My love, there is no doubt.

Strong words I guess,
But what I mean,
Is plainly clear to see.
The only mess,
Is easily seen,
Between both you and me!
