You said I was your favorite.

I brushed it aside.

You joked you wanted marriage.

I would never try to make you mine.

Yet the feelings bloomed inside.

Illogical emotions not wanted,

And I sit here haunted,

By that smile, by those eyes, by your distant nature

And peculiar style.

I’m on death row now, walking the mile.
