RHYME Poem: I Saw a Woman on the Street Today, by Joanne Grumet

I saw a woman on the street today
And it might have been her.
Her hair was long and flying away
But I really wasn’t sure
She carried herself so well
But I couldn’t tell
I couldn’t tell

I only saw her one time for sure
at the station with you
I turned my back real quick
There was nothing else to do
And I stumbled to the street
We really couldn’t meet
We couldn’t meet

Another woman has you,
But I have you, too
I didn’t think it mattered
Till I ran into the two of you

I saw a woman on the street today
And when she walked my way
I was sure it was her
So I turned my gaze away
But her eyes had stabbed me through
I think she knew.
I think she knew
