guilt

Seen you today

Sitting there

Eyes reaching across

Recognition dawned

Then you look away

One more glance

Making sure

what you seen was true

diverted that look forever

thought about going over

maybe to say Hi

I am not one of your demons

Diverting your glaze said it all

Recognition and guilt

Can’t go back

To what never was

So why the look of guilt

Perfume so intoxicating

Weaving its tantalizing web

Never going to happen

Words said with sassy tension

Contemplated and rejected  

It never even crossed my mind

Saw you sitting there

Saw recognition dawn

Seen you ignore and look away

Wish the past away

I turned walking a different path

Never looking back

It was only a matter of time
