Poems
Nov 2016
you got on
A few floors up.
The doors slid closed
and stayed shut.
We could have ascended forever,
or seconds. You were so pretty.
Looked at me from under your lashes,
smiled and I was transfixed.
We stopped at every floor.
You could have got off
but you lingered. The smell of you
filled the small space
and we kept climbing.
The higher we went
the harder it was
to say anything.
Too afraid to speak. Too vulnerable.
Strung up by thoughts of other people.
Then the bell rang and you got off.
Goodbye then, I should have
asked you to stay but you would
have gone anyway.
it's been a while
