Her calm and cold manner is beyond reproach
Unsmilingly following the path of duty
Difficult to know, yet hard to approach
Unaware of her unassuming beauty
Dealing with problems with finest precision
The life lived alone well that suits her just fine
Controlling her world without indecision
Then why do I want her, need her in mine?
Long dark hair and eyes that see through me
Dreaming of her every time I close mine
It seems I’ve spent half an eternity
Living in shadows bereft of sunshine
For once in my life I want to be noticed
To see her smile when i walk into the room
I’m the invisible man, I just don’t exist
A seed of desire that’s unable to bloom
So you will move on to faraway places
Leave me behind even though you don’t know
Maybe one day you will remember the faces
That you left behind when you decided to go
Perhaps you will wonder what you left behind you
Having chosen your freedom over the shackles of man
Maybe you will discover that love does have value
I hope it will find you one day if it can

sincere words, I hope they bridge
a path, to that better you deserve
thanks for sharing
Not a topic I normally give much consideration to here, Tallisman. However in your hands this is a different matter....
A well rendered portrait of the subject of your attention, your feelings towards, and last but not least, the wish expressed that she will find, perhaps love one day even if it does not involve you.
Well spoken of.
Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it and hope all good with you!
Wonderful emotive words Tallisman.
