Lasso the Sun by Sarah Whiley

Lasso the sun?
If only I could.
I’d make you stay,
If only you would.

You captured my heart,
But not mine you.
A one way river.
A dried up slew.

I wanted to trap you,
Encase you in stone.
Secret you away,
As mine alone.

But you shine brightly,
As only I dare.
My eyes avert yours,
An imperfect pair.

I’m left in a wasteland
Of my own making.
Lessons learned from
Giving not taking.

Now I turn my back
And let you be.
You’re just too elusive,
This I can see.

I’ll admire from afar.
Bask only in your light.
Lasso the sun?
One day, I might…
