Portrait of a Wallflower

He looks at me through sleepy eyes

I look back sheepishly

He smiles and asks me to dance

He leads me around like a rag doll

Makes me feel dainty and new

I want to affect him like he affects me

So I give him fiery glances

And try to dance like the beauty

He thinks I should be

But I end up feeling silly

This role I play

Is not myself

I grow coy

And walk away
