Cannot Be - Sonnet

I've waited so long for the night to dawn
For the sky to let its black wings lengthen
For all that's clear to flutter and be gone
Shadows to unwind, unfurl and strengthen

Yes, I waited for this eve, for its tale
Just as I once waited - to touch his arm...
As I stood shaking and couldn't inhale
No air could pass through his spurious charm

Now the night is here, alive and churning
Across the room there is space between us
Over and again I feel him spurning
Although I know he's doing what he must

Never can it be – yet I was praying
Amid our glances I'd find allaying
