I watched you walk in today
why my eyes had wandered to the back of the church
I'll never figure out
It was odd...
you looked different
(why oh why did you dye your hair orange?)
Inwardly I was cursing you for old feelings
Outwardly I put on the mask of security
a Voice whispered to me,
"You're royalty, Rhonda, he's a commoner.
He cannot harm you in any way"
(when did you get rid of your hat?)
We glared at each other each time our eyes met
but my heart wasn't in it, and
I don't think yours was either.
I've seen you twice in two nights and I don't know why.
I don't like it, because I don't like you...
at least I didn't.
(I think you still have one of my shirts)

lol@the orange hair line. i loved the lil touches of personel things you put in this. it made it all 'rhonda,' if you know what i mean. this sounds like a recent breakup poem. *cuddle* don't you hate it how you always seem to run into an ex when you least expect or need it? love the title btw, you always have unique ones that make me want to see what youre talking about. :p i loved this lil bit dear:

"You're royalty, Rhonda, he's a commoner.

This is without doubt my favorite line.

You write this wonderfully, and the interjections in parenthesis just make it more real. You write well, very well.

A very good write, this is a very intimate poem, with splatters of very personal details, I like it because it's you but also because it is such a brilliant write.

Rhonda~
As you know, I'm loving your poetic style.
I enjoy the way you interject little random
thoughts into your poetry.  For example,
"(I think you still have one of my shirts)",
just happens to be one of my favorite lines
in this piece.  The little thoughts just add
a more personal touch, in my opinion, and
of course, they are very 'you'.
Wonderfully written.
Hugs,
~Vicky

you have not truly met the poet.
