Not amused (v2)

Beg as you sleep, she has no heart; yet deafness feigned
is so profound, that you may better pen your plea.
You start with one small word and wait; but you are dry
and void whilst she, the liquid lexicon, walks by.

Where has she gone? The buffered pen holds still, restrained
by disconnected thoughts. How long you wait 'till she
decides to grant a sip. The wine of words will slake
the thirst which comes in restless nights, 'til each day break.

A drop will fall; the paper virgin, white but stained,
lies temptingly beside you and you turn to see
what offering she makes; a dream! You drift awake,
cursing what slipped away, and what was yours to take.
