27 blocks


27 blocks 
He walked that day
In rain
And snow
And wind

27 blocks
Just went away
That day
He left 
Behind

27 blocks
To her front door
He walked
He ran
Advanced

27 blocks
To see her once
Before
She left
For sure

27 blocks
He thought of her
A kiss
A smile
A laugh

27 blocks
He held his breath
He hoped
He prayed
He cried

27 blocks
But he arrived
Too late
She'd gone
He lost

And 

27 blocks
He walked back home
Head down
Heart crushed
Denied
