You Remembered

“You remembered!” I witfully exclaimed with glee,

You should have seen the way she looked at me –

Never has more scorn been known

Than from this woman’s heart of stone.

Those eyes, they blazed, with evil they burned,

And with that voice, so pure, so stern,

“Of course I remember… I would not forget,”

spoken to me in the most reserved way yet.

I sat in confusion, derided in shame,

And thought in silence, “My tongue needs to tame.”

All along, I knew as I sat,

She never did understand what I was getting at.
