Only a coward
My gaze met another when I looked up
"Hello..." She said, smiling wickedly
I thought about her a lot
But I sure didn't want to see her
I so hated her gut
But she was really a mind filler
I knew today would come
Just not so fast
What was I thinking? Was I dumb?
Why did I ever make her last?
Maybe I knew
Maybe I didn't
But here she was and I needed a plan
"Hello..." She said again in her piercing shriek-like voice
Jerking me from my reverie
"Who are you?" I asked
A weak attempt to stall a little more.
"I'm that bridge you said you'd cross when you got to it".
