World Poetry Day - The Friday Column

I Failed 

I walked past you day after day but you barely turned your head, I failed

I fluttered my eyelashes in the hope you would notice me, I failed

I tried to speak to you in person but no words would come out, I failed

I called you on your mobile but it went straight to voice mail, I failed

I sat down to write you a letter but my pen was out of ink, I failed

I wrote you a poem in my head and promptly fell asleep
