Missed Appointments
Girl With Nothing by Christian Satin, October 2020

Missed Appointments

From what I have written she might think I know her well

Yet, now I think nothing could be further from the truth

For I see in her an inner darkness she prefers never to tell

And if I wrote of it that would be betrayal most uncouth.


I see in her a patience and understanding that is very rare

Beyond that I see in my friends and family whom I adore

But there is also a frailty that I must treat with great care

For if I should shatter her, I will shatter too and much more


I know before me stands a goddess that has felt Cosmic Pain

The kind that forces all other deities to fall and disappear

Still if she shared it with me I would surprise her once again

By sacrificing at her alter of truth my own godly tears


Oh, I have yet to stand before her and let her judge me as I am

I have done my best to somehow avoid that fore destined day

For I don't know her well enough to develop some future plan

If after getting to know me as well, she chooses to walk away
