He watched her cross the room

motion languid and smooth

figure firm and poised

Her mouth was ever so slightly curved

representing something akin to a smile

Her eyes took in the room

measured and knowing

He turned as she approached and passed near

Her eyes brushed his

there might have been some bemusement

His eyes fell down

Her voiced was raised

but he did not hear

He turned and sulked quickly away

Face red, mind lost

Oblivious

Her mouth twisted

Her visage wasted

He should have stayed
