Alone
Seated but 5 meters from me,
yet so distant and inscrutable.
Will I be satisfied to let you be?
Or test if you’re approachable?
An Older man with pudgy bod
demeaner downcast and blue
Would you, young lass, think it odd,
that I dare approach you?
The meeting over, we pack our things
fold tables away and say good bye
speak now! my inner desire rings
dare not! for should the test fail I will surely die
And so we part our separate ways
my heart as hard as stone
for though sweet it were these last few days
I can only feel…. alone
