The world turns
and my heart stops as
the girl
walks through the door
she walks past the boys
flaunting her grace
walking on 30 inch heels
beyond all the other girls
she comes closer
my heart goes from stillness
to running at full pace
closer...
my hands become cold
closer...
my mind goes blank
closer...
my throat dries
closer...
she walks past me
not even knowing I'm there
I'm encased in a cloud of despair
The world keeps turning.
