Love Poem: That Girl

That Girl

Her name resounds and echoes in my head,
My heart feels so heavy it really feels like lead,
I feel I am dying because I cannot breathe,
But I certainly know she's the only air that I need.

Sleepless days and endless nights is all I ever had,
Stagnent tears and fragments visions of what I could have had,
I still recall when told her I loved her she froze in surprise,
Her face lit like golden rays from the African sunrise,

She needed time to think you know the usual routine
But she left me lonely just like a lost sardine
Days passed I thinking she was going to change her mind 
But to my surprise she did not even look behind
I remember her say the words ,YOU WERE LATE,
Although I was alive I felt like I lied  in state
Because the words hit me so hard like bad fate.

Tears stood on the rims of my astonished eyes,
She had turned me down the only person who I thought was from the skies,
Outside I did not drop those tears though emotionally I cried,
But I had to take it as a man and keep it bottled up inside.

I do blame my procrastination though,for stealing my time,
I shall revenge not today but hopefully another point in time.
