Does She Just Not Read? Romantic ImproVerse Haiku Lament

How can she read my/
poems about the moon and not/
know they’re meant for her?

OR
know they’re about her?

I dislike learning/
something new at the expense/
of relationships.

I dislike learning/
something new/
at the expense of keeping/
my great relationship with you.

Let the answer be:/
“NO!” It brought me nothing but/
messed up sheets and guilt.
OR

mussed sheets and sadness.

How can I tell you/
of my joyous return when/
you already left?

OR
How can he tell her/
of his joyous return when/
she already left?

How can I tell of/
the joys that I’m feeling deep,/
when she said goodbye?

OR
How can I relate/
the joys that I’m feeling, when/
she already left?

When she said goodbye,/
she said: “That was easy.” I’m/
sad it was for her.

If I looked in your eyes, deeply,/
and discussed philosophy,/
and a Frank Sinatra song/
suddenly came on,/
would you slow dance with me?

It is such a strange/
role reversal: she’s wanting /
the game more than me.

When I give her what/
she asks for, and she turns it/
down, I’ll stop trying.
