A Silly One For Singles. Or Anyone Who's Ever Been Single. A sly grin ;}

posturing 




when I smiled
I wanted to 
be all that, 
and have 
you adore 
me. 


when you glanced 
I thought I was 
suddenly lucky, 
and then your 
glass was 
empty. 


and I...


was standing 
in the center 
of the room 
as you nodded 
and walked 
out the 
door.
