'The Magic' Poem by Gen Smith

the magic comes
then drifts away
never to return again

the girl watches
stanfing still
expressionless

the boy sees
her standing there
unsure of what to do

the darkness comes
the optune moment
and covers their worlds.

the boy looks up
the girl is gone
damn that darkness

the girl weeps
regretfully
where did it all go wrong

the magic stops
and turns around
just one last time.

magic = girl + boy - no darkness
one more time
the magic works
