Poem

Write a poem about a first romantic experience or encounter

Staring forward into mindless despair
I can't help but roll my head to the ground
Facing eye to eye in my sight so rare
Falling in so deep to what I have found

All my instincts have flown out the front door
along with my dignity and pride
I risk sinking in deeper to the floor
I pretend to go along with the ride

Not sure what to do or how to act now
Not able to think of anyone else
Seeing you is only bringing me down
I can't even recognize my own self

Holding my chin high and walking away
I won't sit around like your little prey
