Hooked

Evening to night.
Night to eternity.
Orange to blue.
Indigo to black.

Thoughts racing.
Recollections replaying.
Mellow as the hum.
There's no going back.

I've contemplated.
Speculated.
Cerebrated.
Daydreamed.

Our perceptions are visions.
We see what we know.
The persuit of brilliance
Wasn't what it seemed.

Hesitated.
Cowardice.
Too bashful to say hi.
I admired with my eyes.

I loved what I saw.
Let's admit, flawless.
Even the most charming rose has thorns.
I was hypnotized.

Time heals all wound.
Keep your chin up.
Let it bother me now?
I'll learn to let it go.

I must've been the band geek.
The frumpy brain.
What he thought of me,
I'll never know.

What did I do wrong?
Was it the stubborn silence?
Was it something I said?
I don't know which is worse.

I guess I wasn't in enough sports.
Not easy enough.
Not blonde enough.
Not enough credit cards in my purse.

Scars that never felt a wound.
Too proud to admit I've cried.
I won't deny that I felt like a fool.
I could analyze all day.

It's long gone.
It's over now.
Though I linger on this touchy topic,
Therey say there's more fish in the sea anyway.
