Every Date
I’m your one-time girl.
A heart on her sleeve
Wishing to be a pearl
A lack of interest I perceive
But, the treatment I receive
It makes me wish women could enjoy
But still, be offered a reprieve
Rather than feel like I annoy
Every text I deploy
You take forever to respond
“stay the night” is the fantasy
But you're done, with a yawn
Awkward kiss, and I’m gone.
“Text when you get home safe.”
“No need to stay till dawn.”
“Let me know; we could do it again.”
I’m your one-time girl.
Always so naive
Hoping for the world
Wishing I’d speak up as I leave

I liked this poem. Felt familiar. Nice going.
First dates can be unnerving
