Leaving the room

 Leaving the room
she never even noticed
it never happened
I was never there to begin with

One of them looked up
who is that guy
they drew curiosity
I went misunderstood

She walked with vigor
really swinging those legs
when she walked
not noticing my eyes on them

The exit and the pride
that inch of beauty
that radiated perfume
it pinched

Neutral and closed 
a shopfront selling nothing
I couldn't get in
neither could she

Leaving the room
looking back I saw them gossip
words traveled the carpet
eyes widened

She went on her way
leg sway savagely catching at
the corners of my man mind
not ice nor fresh air

Distance newly the norm
absence a quiet declaration
eloquent and private
a well crafted little "Forget me"
