I was rebuffed but not by the lake
it was in my own home (near the lake)
by a beautiful person born about two years
before me, and I was by myself
The mirror was there, the piano was there
my friend was not there but I told her
Not sure if I should tell her
due to all the rebuffing
between us already, but I said
“I just got rebuffed by my
date from the other day.
No more dates for me”
“Aww sorry joe joe” she said
“More time for eating soup” said I
oops i just looked up the word rebuff and i've been using it wrong (i thought it was gentler than reject but the internet says it's harsher)
ReplyDeletenoted. i still like your poem tho
DeleteIt SOUNDS gentler though, which matters more for a poem, I think
ReplyDeletei think so too. can make words mean whatever, if it sounds right / if people get the idea
