If He Knew

(poems go here) Her eyes speak words that her mouth won't say, fingers trembling, she touches his arm and wonders if he would allow her if he knew would his lips part easily against hers if he knew? would he have started this whole love affair with his sweet smiles and shy glances if he knew? would his hands slowly inch upward eyes glisten with mischeif as he pushed yet another boundary aside if he knew? could she would she be so selfish? yes, her heart sighs no, her mother cries her mother didn't know once upon a time but she does now she has a chance to save a man's life with a simple tear of foil awkward fumbling under the cover and a sigh so loud it reached the heavens but she made her choice so much like the father she resented and pushed his questioning look aside slid her hand down to his and slipped the man's only chance of life out of his hands would he forgive her if he knew?
