Carol!
you roll my head.
in a roller of thoughts, you heave me up over a ledge.
in a ledge replete with feelings, you sled me downhill a dreaded path,
path to covet!
Carol!
do I covet Carol or I covet her beauty?
beauty dripping in rivullets from your heart's tip,
Beauty, your shy dimples manifests,
jolly dimples often receding when you smirk.
Carol!
That grin is so distant, yet so near.
I only see it stuck in your status updates.
sad, when they disappear before the day disappears.
distant, because you are taken, and I am,
leaving me with no option, but to covet, another's.
Carol!
