"Said the Mouse to the Trap"

 
  Believe me when I tell you I'm glad
Things never worked out between us.
That you were seeing someone else or

Simply uninterested when I managed
The nerve to approach you. I knew you
Were no good for me. Call it instinct

Or a need to feel certain. I couldn't help
Myself. Still, you seemed sorry when I
Withdrew. Your mouth full, few words

Left your lips then. But now emptied,
I wonder what you say as you look back
And think of me—the one who got away.
