I Lost Her..

A new presence has captured her gaze,

A stranger's charm has stolen her ways.

She lavishes attention, once mine to share,

Now monosyllables are all I can spare!

Our talks, now brief, with delayed replies,

A distance grows, where affection once resided.

Inquiries met, with a hesitant sigh,

"Tell you later," "Don't ask" phrases that make me wonder why!
