You're my regretful confection
Without reason or recollection
Of how this started
When it ended
Only red and shades in between
Forethought meant to be acted upon
Suppressed by my subconscious
Tantalize me with what ifs and why then and what now
And I find myself somehow
Without any answers
But still blind and starry eyed
And as I look into those eyes
To my surprise
You look back
Hastily I withdraw my regard
I admit that this is foolish
Just an artist's repainting
Of ambiguous accounts
Already recorded by others
And none ever successful
I tell myself
That if you'd look back
Just one more time
I'll meet your gaze
But I lie
Those eyes
So contented
So sublime
