Sara J Poet Rhyme

Long Gone

I stand on the edge tonight.
The dance floor full of people I avoid.
Too busy looking for you, with lines to recite.
I’ve decided the time has come to confess.
To tell you my heart skips a beat when you’re in sight.
I catch a glimpse of you entering the room.
A moment later I see the girl, her face alight.
Hand in yours.
You look back at her, my face goes white.
I know when I’m fighting a losing battle, as all generals do.
And so, I pivot. Disappear into the night.
