My love forsook me:
As I sat at the table
Waiting fervently for
His precious kiss,
He asked me a question.

I was on my phone
Looking for another game
That would capture my interest,
When he happened to saunter by.

I said wistfully & expectantly,
"Hey baby."
He paid me no mind
Until he passed back around;
Then . . . the ultimate question.

I answered him
In all honesty
That I was searching
For another game to play. . . .

Without another word
Or backward glance,
He left me sitting & staring
Wishing he would kiss me
Passionately & ardently....
