standing invite

She likes to be invited,
but she never shows up. Except once,
and she imagines they've been talking 'bout it
ever since, after everything said

that she's done.

No, once is enough
for consequence,
and she wouldn't want to lessen
the total effect. Still,

she loves to be invited,
for the sake of suspense.

If they ever forget,
she might just crash in
to discover if there's
anyone left.
