I live in a state of unrequited lust
A cruel country
Ruled by an autocratic tyrant
The heart
A bloody dictator
I am spurned and rejected
Regularly
The heart keeps sending me back
Hopefully
To the mysterious world of cross gender communication
That place of considerable gap
The Colorado of my affections
Grinds deeper into the bedrock
As time erodes the canyon
Of my mind
