Helpless Wallflowers

Helpless Wallflowers

A kiss
From a guy
To a girl
I’m interested in

I watched as a
Wallflower
Even though
It was right in front
Of me

I couldn’t hide
Behind my drink
Or the fact
That I sobered
Up
In those
Three seconds
Of eternity

A flash
Of light
Blinding me
Freezing me
Helpless
Shocked
And
Paralyzed

The eighth
Wonder of the
World
Slowly
Died
Last night
In my heart
And in my mind

And all I could
Do is
Watch
Helpless
Like a
Wallflower
