My Lucky Stars, Incommunicado

Faithfully, I waited for the universe
The higher powers, whatever they may be
To open my true blues wide, wider still
To the heart’s masochistic idiocy

To show me my ardent passion for him
Was naught but willful, wishful contemplation
Serving biology on overkill
Be fruitful; avoid self-assassination

A tragically romantic spirit
From the highest height
I took the greatest leap
Jumped without looking
believing I’d soar
Alone …
accomplished not even a wing beat

Now, I lay in a melancholic ooze
Realizing there’ll be no late-breaking portent
My lucky stars, incommunicado
Time to wise up and just take his word for it

It's over
