Anthology of a Girl Who Lost

The Encounter

We were but
    In the same room at that
You're just as smart
    I thought, "Wow, I met
       someone at last."

My heart grew warm
    Each time you spoke
This is all so bizarre
    Until you gave me a poke.

You were in a crowd
     And I was alone
My head's in the cloud
     When I first heard you groan.

What a wonderful time
    To observe from afar
But then the bells chime
    And I was left ajar.

The encounter we had
     I forever will bear
It's jiffy and tad,
    But for sure I'm ensnared.
