you wouldn’t have been laughing

Linds M. Crate

“bet you don’t remember me”
of course i do,
and you probably were betting
on that, too;
from that savage grin—

thought at college
i could start coming out of my shell
all thoughts of you
left far behind me but then
you came to that very same college

i felt betrayed by the universe
and God who kept you away all that time
i didn’t understand why i had to see
your face again
unbidden in the dark

felt my heart pick up the speed
like a wounded doe i leapt the highest
don’t know what possessed you
to speak to me,
but i wish i could’ve had the courage

to call you out;
all those years i fell inward upon
myself like a wanning and waxing moon
because of you
all those years i suffered and blamed myself—

i wish i was brave then
like i am now
you wouldn’t have been
laughing at me
if i were.
