Introvert and Extroverts views on Interaction

This is similar to my poem on isolation with introverts and extroverts, but this time it's the extrovert who is happy and the introvert who is uncomfortable.

Introverts View

A door opens, slow and silent

She cautiously throws a glance

Their vacant eyes penetrating

Edging through them, she feels distant

Detached. The wall is shown as thick

Lips form the words she dreads

Hey you. Name, place, dreams

She shudders; no please leave me alone

I won’t, can’t, never again, never again

Questioning stares and unknowing smiles

A trembles starts while she begs for their mercy

They don’t know, they must never know

Turning to flee, a vice like grip takes her

Her blood freezes, eyes clamped together

A torturous spin, lasting eternally, she faints

An all too real fire, she winces and awakens

This is her life, all hope hath been forsaken

And they’ll never know what has been taken

Extroverts View

Hands shake. Hello. I am me. You are you

Her eyes dance merrily, the gleam of fire split in two

A warm evening, a pleasant melody, a love so true

Questions asked. Bodies sway. Oh, what a glorious day

She glances at him, and he at her, words unworthy of say

A smile is born on the face of both, immeasurable by pay

He approaches and asks with respect, would you care to dance?

Mind racing and pulse pounding, she decides to take a chance

As they sway and sway, she considers her stance

She cannot believe, no cannot believe, she’s been swept off her feet

By this gentleman she knows no better than a stranger from the street

And yet what are the chances that this feeling could be beat?

She faces him. A smile on her face with tears spilling

He puts the ring on her finger, saying “I do”, and God willing

You and I shall remain as one forever, a love forever fulfilling

Years pass. She faces the cold tombstone, unbroken

A friend questions, is the pain worth loves grandest token

She smiles in memory of that first glance, remembering words unspoken
