I danced with feet of stone inside a pit
of sand to catch your gaze. You smiled and cheered,
but still you walked away and left me here.
Forgotten shadows pull me down to sit
and watch you gaze at others walking past.
I picked you ten carnations, one for each
expired moment when I failed to breach
the nervous bounds and confess my love at last.
You never saw the way I pined for you,
the way I sold my soul to simply wave
in your direction. Give your gaze to me
and see: I've danced the dance of desperate fools,
I've search the world for flowers of fire, and braved
my fears in hopes you'd brightly smile at me.
