sucker punch

-
waiting for me stealthily
dancing there before me
silken short, sweaty chest
leathered fists twitching

the canvas bounces beneath my feet
I gauge the distance quickly
I resolve to give my best
And then I find I'm flinching

I didn't try to see it coming
though it was obvious to see
and in my fatal weakness
my flaws sucker-punched me

Would it ever be enough, even if I try would I ever get through, do more than get by Would I be enough, be enough for you? Is there any hope, or the slightest chance Before the music's over will I get the dance? and would it be enough, be enough for you? Too little of me I know it's true Fading quickly into the blue I'm not enough, not enough for you This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
