A Plea to my Neighbors!

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I met another stranger  in the local bar last night.She seemed so damned familiar,  yet, something wasn't right.I thought I recognized the face --  The style of hair and dress was new;This stranger even used my name  and I remember her with you.This stranger looked a lot like me  but did things I wouldn't do.I look at everyone I see  and wonder if they met her too.I hope they won't remember!  I hope they soon forget!I didn't like this stranger  who filled me with regret.I hope we never meet again.  I don't want to know her better.If ever she comes back this way,  I beg you, 'Please! Go get her!'                    mMarch 1988 Written October 31st, 2001 © on Oct 31 2001 11:43 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
