Love Poem: Work-Around

Work-Around

dreams that can't come true
never works out like you plan
everything you were sure of
slowly slips from your hands
I don't want to be just a lover
and I can't be just a friend
is it now coming full circle
with arcs that close the end

the flame burned high
and now it descends
I say it'll all work out
how hard I pretend
I tried to go the distance
couldn't hang on that long
sometimes there's not a work-around
when it all goes wrong
