I misspelled her name in layered white flakes, 
waving to no avail from a blizzard below
the hell I built, 
firing a flare as a signal to screw her 
well-deserved lousy karma. 
I was there to set her free.
I hoped to crack into her 
unbreakable attention. 
Absent my faith in someone like me, 
a crooked smile with a deep stare 
through her wondering eyes 
swept the ground beneath my feet. 
Luckily, she thanked her stars 
for failing in a life of endless possibilities; 
the best she could find was me 
in her mind of achievements. 
Should I be so excited that my place 
in the world is in her bed?
