SS
The door closes with a click.
And I heave a sigh.
I was late this evening,
I was being a spy.
This evening was one,
I'd much like to forget,
nay, there I serve a man,
I wish I'd never met.
Mask in place,
I remembered my lies,
told in the presence of he
who always terrifies
How gullible are the young,
who get into debt,
who brand themselves slaves,
and become like pets.
As reality knocks,
that on which you rely
will shatter into pieces,
your hope will die.
Hurrying silently,
my groaning silhouette,
almost merged with hers,
sitting on my step!
I didn't have the energy
my throat was dry,
she hadn't seen me yet,
I didn't want to make her cry.
Coughing quietly,
she took as a threat,
she jumped around,
and yet,
She looked like she knew,
her eyes warmly lit,
that I meant no harm-
I wasn't in a snit
Taken aback,
I did begin to sweat,
were my intentions so plain?
so easy to vet?
Lost for words,
I said stupidly 'Goodbye'
And left,but not before
hearing a swift, soft reply.
Hmm
