Office Romance

My heart bleeds, needs you

You are kind, blind to me

Continually, I sigh, shy away

Later, an obtuse excuse occurs to me

I slink, wink into your office.

"Isn't this your favorite pen, then?"

"I don't know, show me."

When we touch, such electricity.

A shake of your head, "Why no. Go, I'm busy. Sorry."

I deflate straight away.

I reach for the door more disappointed than before.

"Wait!" you say, "Come here, near."

I'm turning, burning with conflict.

I slur, "Sir?"

"At ease. Please, bring coffee."

I leave, naive, bereave the could be

Coffee in hand, bland, as you like it.

Maybe a little spill will get you back?

No solution, retribution.

I walk away, delay at the doorway.

"Anything more before I leave?"

"You're a delight. Tonight, drinks?"

That's it! I commit, quit.

I run at you to kiss. Bliss!

Author's note: I wanted to play with internal rhyme.

My rule for myself was that I had to have two adjacent rhyming words in every line. Fun challenge!
