Feeling smitten
emotes for a broken heart
to pump a little faster
and feel tickled
Karma starts giggling
sending cute little notes
to the one
who made you feel that way...
But Johnny is mistaken...
Karma's not so easily distracted
Her heart is strong
Johnny assumed
she'd be vulnerable
So Karma's gotta return
these Rose-colored glasses...
It's not personal...
but they have annoyed her.
Rose-colored glasses...
Heh!
She don't want
a wouldbe boyfriend
or woudlbe girlfriend
She wants a partner
She don't want to talk
about future plans
She wants to discuss
current situations
they need to be handled
She don't just want
lunch and a movie
She wants, with Baron
to serve a cause
And share the wealth
with fellow homosapiens
Karma enjoyed
Johnny's light caresses
but not much more is felt
that way
She prefers a firm gesture
a mutual embrace
She don't want to hear
that Johnny don't sing after all...
that after all those talks
he never wrote anything
from the heart
She'd rather co-write
and harmonize
with Baron...
to their rhythms and beats
they can reach out to others
with their souls
She don't want
30-min-reports
of Johnny's insignificant happenings
It makes her sick
Johnny eats out all the time.
Baron appreciates a home cooked meal.
Karma's happy to know...
For when she pays a visit
she doesn't arrive empty-handed
She don't want to hear Johnny
at midnight
jerkin' off
to the beat of his hands
She'd prefer to be with Baron
merging
to the beat of their hearts
Yes, they beat in unison
Yes, they roll together
And why?
Cause she prefers to visit the Rose Garden
Versus hearing -
the empty promise of getting one
Karma don't want a fake romance.
She desires true love.
and she sings to Baron...
"We sound good together
baby
And I knew it
from the start
We can groove together
darlin'
the love grows
straight from our hearts
I don't want
no fake emotions
I don't care for canned pumpkin pie
I want us to fly free
together
and never say goodbye."

Your poem reminds me of a song titled "Donde Brilla el Sol." It is so powerful in demanding love, passion, compassion out of a sense of pain and a broken heart. I love the verse where you express the numbness and boredom through lunch and a movie. Oh I love the trope. Keep up the good word.
This one is really good. Very vivid.
