I just don’t have it in me tonight.
I wish I was ready to wax rhapsodic
about your charms
speak softly about your sweet whispers,
pronounce praise as I so often try to.

I don’t have the energy now,
the drive
the willpower
to take the necessary steps.
I wish I could you what you deserve
what I want to give you.

I wish I had more in me
but you’ve already taken
all that I have to give.
