ap lit assignment but make it sapphic

and so the leaves have turned to gold today

yet their beauty cannot match your two eyes

so i'll stand here, asking you to please, stay-

and we'll gaze together at the cold skies

under the passing clouds and the sun's sway

i am on my way to you yet again

imagining you on the seat across

from me, smiling at strangers on the train

the one that goes to the upper west side

the one i know you will never see

this room is too warm for the two of us

the walls are closing in on me and you

you pull me closer, closer, and closer

it's too much and not enough- our hands touch

we swing together like no one's watching

this is me trying to make you fall in love

it doesn't matter if you are or not-

you'll never say it- at least not to me

so we'll keep dancing, but only for now

it's not fair, but i'm sorry anyway

for what? for falling half in love with you

he is like a god, who sits next to you

and makes you laugh, while i can only stare
