I talk to her in the Hall

"Hey, what's your name?"

She looks at me with dead eyes

Like I'm playing some game.

I want to get to know her

But she clearly doesn't feel the same.

So she walks out of science

Leaving me without her name.


I already know her name

That's a fact we both know

I want to hear her voice

Is it high, medium, or low?

If I want to write fifty poems

Our bind needs to grow

So if she could just talk to me

I'd be happier than she'd know
