Once again must I start over
filling the void with a new voice
mourning the still speaking sound of yours
I must build an enticement
hoping that the words intrigue
another such as you
you were an anomaly, an unknown factor
unexpected and surprising
I’d begun to attach emotion
to the thought of you
knowing it was folly but feeling them anyway
and yet again, my suspicion proved true
that while it felt possible,
it was another not meant to be
once more must I cast my lure
hoping this time that the catch will remain mine
