Shelly
I once had a mystery girl
Who spoke to me in tandem ways
A basic night was bathed in light
To let her find my consciousness
She spoke of love and seeking out
I begged her to concede
She'd just smile and fade to black
And I'd just wait and see
Schedules kept me up for days
But I waited like a stone
And statuesque I'd think and stare
Until I aged so narrow
And so at last, something gave
My dreams did start to lapse
I slowly learned to forget her ways
Her face became a shadow
I feel affection, far off shore
As I deny my solitude
Buckle down and brace for strife
While nothing ever changes
With her in mind, I felt calm
But cheated by the scorn
The world aloud had fewer words
As I tried to better myself
I fought and gained some small insight
Told myself just not to care
And soon beheld, I lost her touch
In the very back of my head
With none in mind I carry time
To herald my dear charm
Eluding all but closest realms
I pretend to not exist
And without her I shall find worth
As I pillar for my home
But when I fall, perhaps she'll be
A sweet thing to land upon.
