You’re already sleeping
(people really do look younger)
that ebony lock of hair has fallen
again
across your brow
just like in every romance I ever read
in anticipation
of you
You’re my hero
But in the morning
I'm going Greek
I read a lot of those tragedies, anyways
and I'm destined to be a heroine
in Greek
instead of in the romance novels
You know how they always say
“things will look better
in the morning”?
I guess it’s true from you’re perspective
I’ll be gone
and though you never meant to hurt me
it’s the nature of tragedies
And I can’t stand to hang around much longer
seeing how much I love
and how much you don’t
though you offered the very next best
my friend
but I guess I want it all
But the dawn is the death of love unrequited
the greatest tragedy of all
and the gray dress of Aurora
(she’s Greek)
is the final curtain
over my future
but I’ve got a little more time
to play the romantic heroine
so I’ll brush that lock of hair off you’re brow
and press a kiss to your lips
the romance is
the heroine gave you her heart
but the tragedy is
in the morning
I’ll be gone
Good morning

I especially loved this stanza:
"And I can’t stand to hang around much longer
seeing how much I love
and how much you don’t
though you offered the very next best
my friend
but I guess I want it all"
because it illustrates human nature so very well, always wanting more.

lol...i really loved your poem. It's very elegant and romatic... and this may seem kind of weird and crazy, but it reminds me or romeo and juliet....when he's leaving...for some reason it just reminds me sooo much of that. AwWwWw..confusion..y r u ill?
