Expertly dodging my stare
While the crowd looks on,
You do that so well
And while I have to understand,
It still breaks my heart.
I think you're beginning to shed me
As I'm passing before your eyes
In continuous and less alluring circles.
But lest I doubt you,
I have to remain here with my hope
As close to my chest as is your heart.
You couldn't believe that its you I want,
While I can't admit that perhaps
You're more the reason than I said.

In the worst of times, let me drift beneath the cloak of Oblivion. I favor the night as it favors me.

Dear Lady I think its time you move on. I notice a few of our "gentleman" poets are looking for someone as nice as you. Hopefully you will find someone who will treat you with the gentle love you deserve.

Thanks for your responses so far, but while I like to describe feelings, they aren't always feelings that I have at present. Hope I don't worry anyone.

Oh Temptress, I'll try to call off the ad I put in the "Looking for Mr. Right" magazine for you. (LOL) I'll try not to take you so literal next time.

Inot..
Thank you, but one never really does know..do they?   I didn't mean to sound sarcastic if I did. Apologies...Thank you so much for reading.

I guess we've all been on the wrong end of this emotion, I'm glad this isn't a real experience, who would dodge a lovely young lady like you!
