The opening lines from my poem "Waking Beauty":
"She never sleeps now. Nights she lies awake
and listens to him snoring in the dark.
Unthornèd, roseless now, her world is stark:
this waking is a spell he cannot break."

A gentle ballet performance -
gorgeous humans floating across a stage
filled with emotion, pirouettes and pliés,
somber musical arrangements accompanying.
You have ruined me,
and I cannot escape the ache
of trying to forget you again -
because this time I will not.

To pick up slack and share laughs
Can I count on you?
