REMEMBERED Then Forgotten.

My beautiful stranger thinks he's smart
Toyed and tangled with my heart.
He rang me up on Tuesday night
I thanked the gods for shining bright.

Coffee planned and casual chat
He didn't show, I rang him back.
A drink at seven, "I'll pick you up"
What a fool I was, a sad eyed pup.

Stood me up, twice today
What prank has he in play?
Playing games I won't abide
He did his dash, when he lied.

Types like him, can go to hell
Curling back, safe inside my shell .
I can live without sugar and spice
And the tingles that felt quite nice.

I am deaf to his name and his voice
Survival without him that is my choice.
Astral travel to his sheets?
I'll leave my venom, at his feet.
