Just an old one

She sat quietly

a vision not quite heavenly

ragged through the world she'd been through

but her beauty was still there too

a heart hurt and alone but still new

tired from the battles and the dragons she slew

along the way and the scars that came

hadn't mattered much the same

still she sat there quietly

waiting for the world to end entirely

but with one cup of coffee

she might just regain her energy

and out again to the world she would be

in the corner sat he

not seen by she but he saw her

and watched with fervor

seeing not the pain

nor what he might gain

just seeing her

and not knowing what for

trying hard to catch her eye

how hard did he try

but she did not turn

and something inside him started to burn

talk to her he felt he must

his soul lost in trust

so up to her he went

against all he knew was lent

tell me girl I see you might cry

but thought I would just try

to make you smile one time

just to ease my mind

she turned to look

it was easier than her night took

what sir did you have in mind

for being just so kind

he took a step back

as like he was under attack

oh sweet girl you don't know

and no need to show

but a gentle shoulder to cry

should you wish to cry

don't wish for anything more

know only what I might be good for

her eyes returned to her drink

as both began to think

such a gentle moment

as it went

from heaven she started to think

as she was left on the brink

but could he be real

doubt she began to feel

this he could see

but could not have it left as be

I am not looking for much

certainly not looking only for a touch

just a heart left alone

looking for a home

saw you sitting here

and felt you needed a little care

fear not about me

I am what you see

I know I think I know

and a chance to love I don't want to blow

but you must see

that there is such a risk for me

from her coffee she did not look

and as he stood he just shook

my dear as I am still here

that might just make my intentions clear

then up she did come

a face not seen by some

a slight smile

apprehensive all the while

but still

and it took all his will

to look back at her

to see her there

he saw her pure

and knew he was sure

what you want you might not get

but then again it might not be over yet

still there may be a chance

I still might want to dance
