“Woo”

 

28 September 2005

 

 

 

 

 

I woo her with written words,

as I am a coward

when I am with her.

 

I woo her with written words,

when I know she needs:

arms around her;

affection;

caring;

attention.

 

I woo her with written words,

but they only confuse

us both.

 

I woo her with written words,

with neither of us knowing

where we are headed.

 

I woo her with written words,

but she wishes

I would leave her alone.

 

I woo her with written words,

and now

she does not respond.

 

I woo her with written words,

as I am a coward

when I am with her.
