A Stinging Regret
She was
Within striking distance
Eagerly waiting,
With bells on, for him.
She could have been
His million dollar baby.
Pity, he took too long
To pounce.
Between a blink,
Far out of sight was she.
He strained his eyes
Longingly searching for her
Across a desolate expanse
Into nothingness.
She's walked into
Another man's waiting arms.
Facing each sunset
Lonesome,
He looks back
With a stinging regret.
