With Me Poem by Liyo Denorte

If I were Rapunzel,
I already cascaded my hair down
For you to climb up
With full hope
for You to save me
But u didn't take it

Have I only misheard it?
Have I mistaken it?
From your intermittent 'hellos'
And from your searching eyes?
That you want to be
With me

Or I must say
U were too blind to see
Signals for help
Unnoticed
It keeps you from getting here
With me.

Haven't you heard me?
Singing?
A coded lullaby
Of my secret longing
To have you
With me

So here I am,
On top of this tower
Alone, on the brink
Of desperation
An effort gone to waste
Tasting my own bitterness
I have nobody
